Florida's Move Over Law: Protecting Roadside Safety
How does the Move Over Law Apply to Drivers in Florida?
The Florida Move Over Law was enacted in 2002 in an effort to curb the number of accidents caused by motorists against law enforcement officers, first responders, and other emergency officials who are injured or killed during stops on Florida highways and roads. Specifically, the law states that all motorists on 2-lane or higher roadways are now required to move over a lane or slow to 20 mph below the posted speed limit when approaching an emergency vehicle that has its lights flashing. If driving on a single-lane road, drivers must slow to 20 mph below the posted speed limit, or 5 mph if driving on a road with a posted speed limit of 25 mph or less.
Consequences of Not Following Florida's Move Over Regulations
Violation of Florida's Move Over Law can result in costly fines and court fees as well as adding 3 points to your drivers' license as indicated in the Florida point system. While these penalties may not seem entirely severe, the costs associated with these penalties can grow to become quite substantial. Further, adding points to your license can ultimately lead to suspension or revocation.

"Great Results"I had received a ticket during an accident. I contacted Golden Traffic Ticket Law offices. They explained the process and to be patient that the process did take time to go thru court system. They would update me periodically to let me know where in the process we were and if anything new had come up. I was then notified that the issue was clear up and no points, no community service and best of all no fine and no court costs. I would contact them again with out hesitation if I need them.- Tommy W
