Scott's Law, also known as the "Move Over" law, mandates that drivers must slow down and move over when approaching any vehicle with hazard or emergency lights activated. This law is designed to protect first responders, road workers, and fellow travelers on the road.
As emphasized by the Illinois State Police, the incident on Interstate 80 serves as a poignant example of the consequences of not abiding by Scott's Law. The safety of those who work tirelessly to assist others in emergencies should be a top priority for all drivers.
In light of the recent accident, it is crucial for motorists to remain vigilant and comply with Scott's Law to prevent further tragedies on the roads. By exercising caution, drivers can contribute to a safer environment for everyone on the road.
