Texas DPS partners with neighboring states to enforce move over law

BIG COUNTRY, Texas (KTAB/KRBC) -The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) will conduct a one-day enhanced enforcement operation regarding the “Move Over, Slow Down” law this week with state police from the neighboring states.

The Texas “Move Over or Slow Down” law requires drivers to switch lanes or slow down when approaching an emergency vehicle with emergency lights on, including law enforcement, fire, EMS, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), tow trucks, and other vehicles.

State police from Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, and Oklahoma are joining Texas DPS on this operation, which will occur from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Wednesday, May 14. According to TxDOT, troopers will focus on drivers violating their state’s “Move Over, Slow Down” laws.

According to the TxDOT, anyone violating the state’s Move Over or Slow Down law can face a $1,250 fine for the first offense. Violators who cause bodily injury can be charged with a Class A misdemeanor, resulting in possible jail time and up to a $4,000 fine.
