Kentucky’s Expanded ‘Move Over Law’ Goes into Effect on July 15th
By now, we have all heard of the "Move Over" law in Kentucky. Beginning July 15th, 2024, there's a big update to that law that you need to become familiar with. The Move Over Law, it requires drivers to change lanes to give clearance to law enforcement officers, firefighters, ambulances, utility workers, and in some cases, tow-truck drivers. This should be common sense/courtesy, however, I still see drivers choosing not to move over into the other lane when a situation like this arises. We should all be aware of this, especially with all of the construction zones we have on our highways. It's not like it's a new law in Kentucky. The original law, was passed in 2003, so you would think by now, Kentuckians would know to move over. However, that isn't the case. Now, an expanded version of that law is about to go into effect next week. So you might want to become familiar with it.
