Move Over instruction now required in Wisconsin

Wisconsin is raising awareness about its Move Over Law.

The state Department of Transportation (DOT) is putting up information signs on the interstate.

Governor Doyle has signed a bill into law that I supported that will require instruction about the Move Over Law in driver education classes.

Here is a history of the bill that has a link to a Legislative Council memo and the enacted law. 

Please check out the DOT website for audio and video public service announcements that tell why the Move Over law is so important Wisconsin.

If those public service announcements aren’t convincing enough, maybe this emotional news piece from WISN-TV Channel 12 will get the message across.

The law is good, but it could be better.  It should be amended to move over for any vehicle pulled over.  In doing so, it will be become habit forming that when drivers see a vehicle pulled over their instinct is to move over.  So many people forget the people repairing the roads (which is already included).  We shouldn’t just be trying to protect law enforcement, maintenance workers, or emergence personnel, but everybody.  If it is good from those stated group it should be good for all!
