Georgia: Respect the 'Move Over' Law
The death of an Atlanta Police officer has law officers reminding drivers about Georgia's move over law. The law is commonly known as the Move Over Law, so named because it requires motorists approaching any law enforcement officers that are conducting traffic stops to make a lane change into a lane not next to the emergency vehicle when more than one lane is present and can be done safely. If they can not make a safe lane change, they must slow and pass the emergency vehicle at a speed below the posted speed limit
