Be Careful On The Road

Indiana governor, Eric Holcomb has a reminder for drivers…move over or slow down while passing emergency vehicles stopped alongside the road. The governor has declared the week of October 13-19 as Indiana Move Over Week. In 1999, Indiana became the first state in the nation to pass such a law…requiring motorists to move to an adjacent traffic lane, or reduce their speed by 10 miles per hour below the posted speed limit…if unable to change lanes safely when driving by an emergency vehicle stopped along the side of the road. Twenty years later…every state, with the exception of Hawaii has some form of a move over law.
