Georgia’s Move Over Law Saves Lives

Did you know that there’s a law in Georgia that says drivers must move over for emergency vehicles stopped on the side of the highway? It protects you and the lives of emergency responders.

The Move Over Law was passed in the aftermath of growing numbers of police, emergency responders, and Georgia DOT workers being killed during routine traffic stops, crashes, and roadwork projects. In Georgia, you can be fined $500 for failing to obey, but the consequences of not moving over can be much worse. According to FBI statistics, traffic crashes claim the lives of more police officers than any other cause of death in the line of duty, including shootings.
