OT: New “Move Over” Law

[DataAgent]

Has everyone heard of this new law? I hadn’t:

“It’s a new law many Californians haven’t heard about. If you are driving down the freeway, and you see emergency lights on the side of the road, you must move over and pass, leaving an extra lane of clearance between you and the incident.”

This law does not go near far enough!

Oklahoma and a few other states have recently passed laws stating that the #1 lane (the fast lane) can be used for passing only! No more parking their 60 mph white Camrys in the fast lane and eating lunch!

That is the “move over” law we really need in California…

(1) Make a lane change into an available lane not immediately adjacent to the authorized emergency vehicle or tow truck with due regard for safety and traffic conditions, if practicable and not prohibited by law.
(2) If the maneuver described in paragraph (1) would be unsafe or impracticable, slow to a reasonable and prudent speed that is safe for existing weather, road, and vehicular or pedestrian traffic conditions.

I knew of the law, but just read the second paragraph. Seems a little vague, no?
