Maryland: Expanded ‘Move Over’ Law To Include Tow Trucks
Maryland law requires drivers to move over one lane if a police or fire vehicle is pulled over on the side of the road. But now, a new expansion of that law will apply to another common roadside vehicle. Derek Valcourt reports the new law aims to protect tow truck drivers. Like police officers, it’s not uncommon for tow truck drivers to be injured or even killed as they work on the roadside trying to help stranded drivers.
