PA - 0121 Protects Fire Fighters Lives

SLOW DOWN AND MOVE OVER soon to be the law! This UPFFA sponsored and supported legislation passed and signed by the Governor will become effective on October 1, 2009 and help to protect the lives of fire fighters exposed to passing motor vehicles while working on the state's highways and roadways.

The bill provides "Any operator of a motor vehicle on a highway when approaching one or more stationary emergency vehicles located on the shoulder, lane or breakdown lane of such highway shall (1) immediately reduce speed to a reasonable level below the posted speed limit, and (2) if traveling in the lane adjacent to the shoulder, lane or breakdown lane containing such emergency vehicle, move such motor vehicle over one lane, unless such movement would be unreasonable or unsafe."

This legislation was passed TO PROTECT YOUR LIFE AND THOSE OF YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS. When you are operating your own private motor vehicle, make sure to adhere to this new statute and encourage friends, family and others to do the same by word and deed even though this law is not in force. The sooner the general public becomes aware of this law and begins to adhere to it, the sooner fire fighters lives are protected. Fire Fighters should set an example and "SLOW DOWN AND MOVE OVER" now!!
