HASTINGS, Mich. (WOOD) – A local effort to promote roadside safety traveled through Hastings as part of National Move Over Day.
The day aims to remind drivers of the move over law, which requires them to pass emergency or roadside crews with caution.
Every state has a Move Over law covering police, first responders and towing operators whose “office” often is on the side of the road. Each law requires motorists to move over one lane – when possible – or slow down by at least 20 mph as they approach a roadside scene.
In Michigan, breaking the Move Over law is a misdemeanor. Fines could run upwards of $150 plus 4 points on your license.
