Key Points

  • The Senate passed a resolution to support "National Move Over Law Day." This day is meant to remind drivers to be careful when they see emergency workers, tow truck operators, or road crews working on the side of the highway.
  • The goal is to protect people like police officers, firefighters, and paramedics. In 2024, 46 of these workers were killed in the United States because drivers hit them while they were doing their jobs on the roadside.
  • Every state already has a "move over" law. These laws usually require drivers to move over at least one lane when they see flashing lights. If you cannot move over safely, you are required to slow down and pass the scene with extra caution.
  • This resolution does not change any federal laws or create new fines. Instead, it encourages national and state organizations to teach the public about the dangers of speeding or distracted driving near roadside emergency scenes.
