As pictured, a vehicle with flashing emergency lights is pulled over on the shoulder ahead. Which law says you must change lanes away from it or slow down?

Answer options

Why

Move Over laws protect people who are stopped or working beside the road. When you approach a stopped emergency vehicle, police car, tow truck, or highway maintenance vehicle with flashing lights, shift to a lane farther from it if you can do so safely; if you cannot, slow down as you go by.
