The "Move-Over" law went into effect at the beginning of this year. New York State adopted the law that's been on the books in many other states since 1994.  The law requires drivers to reduce their speed, and change lanes as they approach any emergency vehicles that have their lights flashing.

  Let's be careful out there!
