AAA hopes expanded ‘Move Over’ law makes Maryland roads safer

A new Maryland law takes effect this weekend that requires motorists to move over when any vehicle is on the side of the road displaying hazards or flares. The state’s newly expanded “Move Over” law takes effect Saturday, and officials with AAA said it will save lives. “We certainly hope so,” AAA Mid-Atlantic spokeswoman Ragina Ali said, “Unfortunately, studies have shown that most people do not know that there’s a slow-down/move-over law. And if they do, they’re not abiding by it.”
