Truck drivers raise awareness for Florida’s ‘Move Over’ law while honoring fellow driver

Truck drivers across the region hit the roads on Sunday to honor a fellow driver and bring attention to an important state law.  The “Move Over” law, revised in 2024, mandates that drivers slow down and move over when approaching emergency, construction, or any disabled vehicles on the side of the road.  The law also requires drivers to shift one lane away from vehicles with hazard lights on. If moving over isn’t feasible, drivers must reduce their speed to 20 mph below the posted limit.
