If changing lanes cannot be done safely, vehicles must slow down and maintain a safe speed for traffic conditions. Upon a roadway with only one directional lane, vehicles must slow down and operate at a reduced speed until completely past the emergency or roadside service vehicle. In addition to a fine and a loss of demerit points on one’s driving record, drivers who violate this law and contribute to an accident face suspension of their license.
