Governor signs updated Move Over law

Governor Laura Kelly signed on Monday Senate Bill 8, which requires drivers to move over when passing stationary vehicles displaying hazard warning lights. Senate Bill 8 works to protect both drivers of disabled vehicles displaying hazard warning signal lights and other drivers on the road. The bill requires drivers on the road to proceed with caution and change lanes away from the disabled vehicle if it is possible and safe to do so. Historically, move-over protections had been limited to emergency personnel. Over time, these protections included road service vehicles, utility, and tow trucks. This year, move-over protections will apply to all highway vehicles.
