Has anyone heard of this being a law in their state? Move-over lane traffic law. On January 1, 2010 in California , A vehicle must move to a vacant traffic lane, and reduce their speed by 20 mph, or 25 mph when posted 25, When there is an emergency vehicle with it's lights flashing stopped on the right side of the roadway.
This is already a law in Texas and several other states. Violations in California are very expensive and add points to your driving record.
Moving to the left lane or changing to a safe lane while passing any vehicle parked on the side of the roadway/ emergency parking lane has been common practice for commercial truck drivers for years...but I guess this is now requred.
Anyway, check it out.
