HB 1155 -- Emergency Vehicles

Sponsor:  Shields

This bill requires that every driver approaching a stationary
motor vehicle stopped on the shoulder of a four-lane roadway make
a lane change into a lane not adjacent to that of the stationary
vehicle, if possible.  If a lane change is not safe or possible,
a driver must proceed with caution and reduce speed, maintaining
a safe speed for the road conditions.  Tow trucks must be treated
in the same manner as law enforcement vehicles, ambulances, or
any other emergency vehicle.

Any driver who violates this provision is guilty of an
infraction.
