move Over Law
Georgia's
move over states that the operator of a motor vehicle approaching a stationary
authorized emergency, towing or recovery vehicle that is displaying flashing
yellow, amber, white, red, or blue lights shall approach the authorized
emergency vehicle with due caution and shall, absent any other direction by a
peace officer, proceed as follows:
(1)
Make a lane change into a lane not adjacent to the authorized emergency vehicle
if possible in the existing safety and traffic conditions; or
(2)
If a lane change under paragraph (1) of this subsection would be impossible,
prohibited by law, or unsafe, reduce the speed of the motor vehicle to a
reasonable and proper speed for the existing road and traffic conditions, which
speed shall be less than the posted speed limit, and be prepared to stop.
Violation
of this code shall be punished by a fine of $500.00.
