move over law

There's a new law on New York roads that affects all drivers.

Why can't people simply slow down and move over when they see an emergency vehicle? It's not only the safe thing to do, it's the law in New York state.

If you want to ensure the safety of police officers everywhere, there is one simple thing you can do to help.

Several people are recovering after a move over crash on I-81 on February 19, 2022.

New York State Trooper Stephen P. Muller is recovering after being hit while providing traffic control during a crash on January 26, 2022.

Three people are recovering after the NYSP says a troop car was hit by another car next to the northbound lane of the New York State Thruway, I-87, near Ulster on December 27, 2021.

The New York State Police are asking for the public's help finding the driver that sideswiped a trooper's cruiser near on Interstate 81.

THIS is why you move over when you see a vehicle stopped on the side of the road. A New York State Trooper was injured this morning when someone hit the vehicle.

During inclement weather, it's even more important to slow down when you see emergency lights in the roadway, as a New York motorist discovered today.
