Overview
This bill, S.2352, aims to strengthen Massachusetts’ existing ‘Move Over’ law, which requires drivers to move over a lane when approaching a stopped emergency vehicle, tow truck, or other authorized vehicle displaying flashing lights or a warning device. The bill seeks to clarify the scope of the law and ensure consistent enforcement, potentially expanding the types of vehicles covered and increasing penalties for violations. It builds upon previous attempts to refine and update the existing legislation.
