Reply to comment by cutiecat565 in Move Over Law Ticket - Has anyone had luck getting fees/points reduced? by nooneyouworkwith

Yeah, I get the idea behind it and understand. I'm not trying to get out of it, but my hope is that the judge has some discretion to reduce the impact somewhat. Completely legally irrelevant but adding to my frustration is that this clearly wasn't a crash scene or emergency of any kind, but because the officer was giving someone else a ticket.

As long as the cops lights were flashing, the law applies. Its intent is to protect those stopped and/or working along the road.

Doesn’t have to be a crash scene or an emergency. One pickup truck with a flashing light on top that belongs to a highway worker who stopped to pickup a shredded tire is enough to trigger it.

Move over, slow down. The signs are everywhere.
