Speed Limits & Following Distance

An ambulance and a tow truck are stopped ahead on the shoulder. What is the first thing Florida's Move Over law asks you to do?

  • A.Pass as quickly as possible in the next lane
  • B.Move over one full lane away from the stopped vehicles, if you can do so safely
  • C.Stop behind them to offer help
  • D.Drive on the shoulder past them
Correct answer

B. Move over one full lane away from the stopped vehicles, if you can do so safely

Why

The Move Over law's first choice is to change lanes to leave a full open lane between you and the stopped vehicles. Only when moving over is not safely possible do you use the slow-down option.
