A series of laws passed in 2023 are now in effect as of Jan. 1, 2024. One of the most notable ones will directly impact your commute. Florida's "move over" law, which requires drivers to move over for emergency vehicles, is now enhanced to include more vehicles. Drivers will need to move over for any disabled vehicle. This includes cars flashing their hazard lights or displaying emergency signs or flares. If you don't slow down or move over for those vehicles going forward, you could be fined up to $158. A spokesman for AAA, Mark Jenkins, said that after advocating for a stronger "move over" law, the auto group was glad to see it finally come to fruition. "The roadside is a dangerous place for anyone, whether it’s a first responder or a daily commuter. We hope this enhancement to the current law will save lives by reminding drivers to give extra space when passing anyone on the roadside," Jenkins said.
