Sheila told me about this a couple of months ago when she was pulled over by 
the police in Colorado for not moving over a lane.  They were very nice and did 
not give her a ticket - just warned her that it was now a law to be attended to.

 Not in NY State, but in most other states..

"Move Over " Law, (just in case you have not heard this)

New Law: If a patrol car is pulled over to the side of the road with their 
lights flashing, you have to move to the next lane (away from the stopped 
vehicle) or slow down by 20 mph. Every state except Hawaii and Maryland and the 
D.C. has this law. In California, the "Move-over" law become operative on 
January 1, 2010.

My son got a ticket on Pleasant Hill coming back from Wal-Mart. A Duluth police 
car (turned out it was 2 police cars) was on the side of the road giving a 
ticket to someone else. My son slowed down to pass but did not move into the 
other lane. The second police car immediately pulled him
over and gave him a ticket.

My son and I had never heard of the law. It is a fairly new law that states if 
any emergency vehicle is on the side of the road with its lights flashing, if 
you are able, you are to move into the next lane.  The cost of the ticket was 
$754, with 3 points on your license and a mandatory court appearance.

Please let everyone you know that drives about this new law.
It is true (see details at the following web address).
It states that except two states, all the other US states (even Canada ) 
enacted a similar kind of law.
