SFC Tabb reminds motorists to slow down and move over for any emergency vehicle on the shoulder of the roadway.  State law requires drivers to move over one lane when possible if an emergency vehicle with flashing lights is parked on the shoulder of the highway. If it is not possible to move over, slow down below the posted speed limit and be prepared to stop.
