Motorists Reminded of Move Over Law
Jayna Smith
Enacted in 2007, Maine’s “Move Over” law requires motorists to slow down to 20 miles per hour below the posted speed limit when encountering an emergency vehicle or public service vehicle stopped with flashing lights. If possible, the law also requires drivers to move over at least one lane from the scene where the vehicle is working. Drivers who fail to do so can face a fine of $326.
