Virginia: 'Move-Over' Law Effort

In recent weeks, several law enforcement agents were injured along the roadways and that includes a Rockbridge County Deputy. Drivers can help protect police by obeying the "Move Over" law which has been on the books in Virginia since 2002.

"We have to deal with not only the person we are stopping but also the traffic going by us" said Virginia State Police Capt. Richard Denney.

Capt. Denney said, in seconds, a routine traffic stop can turn deadly "A lot of the troopers that are killed is because of either traffic stops or being struck by a vehicle" said Capt. Denney.
