Answer: Yes, in most places, and in Virginia, the law was just expanded. The "move over" laws are intended to protect police officers and emergency workers engaged in enforcement or rescue work. Generally, the laws are written so that a driver must change lanes to move away from the action or, if that's not possible, slow down. Virginia, the only jurisdiction in the D.C. region with such a law, broadened it as of Thursday. Until now, the law covered vehicles with flashing red or blue lights. In this year's session, the Virginia General Assembly passed House Bill 1159, which adds vehicles displaying amber flashing lights. The measure was broadened to protect tow truck operators and highway workers. --
