Texas's Move Over law requires you to do which of the following for a stopped emergency vehicle with flashing lights?
- A.Stop completely in your lane
- B.Speed up to pass it quickly
- C.Move over a lane or slow to 20 mph below the posted speed limit
- D.Move over only if traffic is light
Correct answer
C. Move over a lane or slow to 20 mph below the posted speed limit
Why
The Move Over law requires a lane change away from the stopped emergency vehicle, or, if that is not possible, slowing to 20 mph below the posted limit. This protects responders working at the roadside.
