Florida’s Expanded ‘Move Over’ Law Concludes First Full Year
Florida’s ‘Move Over’ law used only to require drivers to move one lane over for emergency vehicles on the side of the road, but at the beginning of 2024, it was broadened to require drivers to move over for any vehicle on the side of the road.
According to WFTV 9, many drivers are being caught out by the expanded law. Highway Patrol says despite the law, many drivers are still not moving over for stranded civilian vehicles or emergency vehicles.
Those ticketed under the law, face a fine of $60-$158. If a driver is unable to move over, they must slow down to 20 miles per hour under the speed limit.

President-elect Donald Trump has selected Kash Patel to replace current FBI Director, Christopher Wray.
Patel is a former Justice Department prosecutor, who has become a strong ally of Trump and has threatened to prosecute political enemies.
The position of FBI Director, which is usually replaced every 10 years to avoid partisan tension, was last installed in 2017 by Trump, however, according to NPR, there has been friction between Trump and Christopher Wray. Towards the end of Trump’s last presidential term, he attempted to install Patel to replace Wray; however, the move was blocked by the CIA and Justice Department.
