I vaguely remember hearing about this law it is legitimate however,  the
Snopes link shows that the fine and points on your license are not nearly as
hefty as indicated below. There's a link to snopes below to check it out.....
love ya all!!!







      FYI









                            A GOOD THING TO KNOW:

                            New Law: If a patrol car is pulled over to the
side of the road, you have to change to the next lane (away from the stopped
vehicle) or slow  down by 20 mph. Every state except Hawaii and Maryland and
D.C. has adopted this law now.

                            In California , the "Move-over" law became
operative on January first, 2010.   http://www.moveoveramerica.com/

                            A friend's son got a ticket for this recently. A
police car (turned out it was 2 police cars) was on the side of the road
giving a ticket to someone else. He slowed down to pass but did not move into
the other lane. The second police car immediately pulled him over and gave him
a ticket. He had never heard of the law.

                            It is a fairly new law that states if any
emergency vehicle is on the side of the road, if you are able, you are to move
into the far lane.   The cost of the ticket was $754, with 3 points on your
license and a mandatory court appearance.

                            Please tell everyone you know about this new law.
