The law that requires every driver to exercise care to avoid colliding with an authorized emergency or hazard vehicle is called:
- Brianna’s Law
- The Green Light Law
- Move Over Law ✓
- Right of Way
Answer: C. Move Over Law
The law is the Move Over Law.
Why this is the answer
The handbook describes a rule for drivers who approach an authorized emergency or hazard vehicle that is stopped on the shoulder or any part of the road with its warning lights on. Drivers must slow down, and on multi-lane controlled-access roads they must also move out of the lane next to that vehicle when it is safe. This care-and-move-over requirement is what the question calls the Move Over Law.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Brianna’s Law — The passages do not connect Brianna’s Law with this care-and-move-over requirement for stopped emergency or hazard vehicles.
- B. The Green Light Law — Nothing in the passages says the Green Light Law is the rule about avoiding collisions with stopped emergency or hazard vehicles.
- D. Right of Way — Right of way is not the name used here for the specific duty to slow down and move over for a stopped emergency or hazard vehicle.
Remember it
Remember the action: when those warning lights are on the shoulder, slow down and move over.
