California apparently has such a law and one which needs to be understood.  It appears hat most states in the Union have such a traffic law.

Important Law to Share:

I wanted to let my Medlock Bridge neighbors
know about the GA move over law. My son got a ticket on
Pleasant Hill coming back from Wal-Mart. A Duluth police car
(turned out it was 2 police cars) was on the side of
the road giving a ticket to someone else. My son slowed down
to pass but did not move into the other lane. The second
police car immediately pulled him over and gave him a
ticket. My son and I had never heard of the law. It is
a fairly new law that states if any emergency vehicle is on
the side of the road, if you are able, you are to move into the far lane.

The cost of the ticket was $754, with 3 points on your license and a mandatory court appearance.

Please let everyone you know that drives about this new law.

Details at the following web address. It states that except two states, all the other US states (even Canada ) enacted similar kind of law.

In Illinois you have to move to the other lane when passing emergency vehicles and maintenance crews.  If not, slow down.

Not sure what the ticket is worth in Manitoba, but it recently became law here too.

The law in Indiana is to either slow down or move over.

That's one huge fine.

The law is good, but that's a stupid ridiculous fine, especially if he slowed down.

Not sure what state it was someplace in the midwest, had signs warning of that law every couple of miles.  Since then I have been trying to do that all the time, but it is kinda difficult during rush hour.

Might have been where you went through oHIo last year. We have those signs all over the place.

Indiana mostly just has them at the borders.
