'Doesn't take long to save a life': Truck drivers raise awareness for Florida's 'Move Over' 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 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. In Orlando, Jacksonville, and Canton, North Carolina, tow truck drivers took to the streets to remind the public of the rule, highlighting the dangers they face when the law is ignored.
