Move Over Law | Video

KFYR-TV | 2/28/2013

Two accidents since the first of the year involving North Dakota Highway Patrol cars have prompted the patrol to remind drivers to move over when you see their flashing lights. These crashes have resulted in several injuries to the troopers and motorists involved.

When vehicles approach an authorized emergency vehicle on a multi-lane highway outside city limits, motorists must move to a lane not adjacent to the emergency vehicle. This must be done with regard to safety and other traffic. If the motorist cannot move to another lane, the driver must proceed with caution, reduce speed, and maintain a safe speed for road conditions.

Failure to comply with the Move Over Law may result in a $50 fine and two points assessed to their driving record.
