State troopers pulled over nearly 200 drivers on the Thruway last month in an effort to enforce the new “move over” law.
The law, which went into effect Jan. 1, requires drivers to change lanes or slow down when approaching service vehicles such as tow trucks and maintenance trucks with flashing amber lights.
The original “move over” law requires drivers to switch lanes away from a stopped police or fire department vehicle when its lights are flashing.
The January stops were to raise awareness.
