Fail To Move Over For Emergency Vehicle Can Be Reckless Driving
Failure to move over for a stationary emergency vehicle can be a reckless driving violation. Virginia code 46.2-861.1 requires the driver of any motor vehicle to “move over” to an adjacent lane when passing a stationary vehicle stopped on the shoulder of the highway under certain traffic conditions. A violation of this law can be considered reckless driving if an emergency vehicle is in involved, which is a criminal misdemeanor in some cases. If you have been accused of violating this law then it would be in your best interests to consult an accomplished local reckless driving attorney. You may have a valid defense and not realize it.
