CLICK HERE to listen to commentary from State Trooper Preston Cox.

If you spot an emergency vehicle on the side of the road with its lights flashing and don’t move over – it could cost you a thousand-dollar fine. A new law goes into effect on November 1st. It is set up to protect law enforcement officers and tow truck drivers, among others.

Trooper Preston Cox was injured when a driver failed to pull over two years ago. The fine was 249 dollars. State lawmakers backing the change say failing to move over is going to be expensive.
