Move over!

As an 18 wheeler, I can say that most states have these kinds of laws already, more on the way. Penalties vary. Most of the time, the law is worded much alike. Words to the effect of slow down OR move over. There are times when I cannot move over and all I can do is slow way down. Minimum speed limits do apply, but can be safely ignored if the person you're avoiding is the cop.

There is one sole exception to this rule. The Louisiana causeways. Trucks are restricted to the right lane on these roadways. If you are a big truck, DO NOT move over for a police officer, lights on or not! I guarantee you will get a ticket in the amount of $249. Take their doors off instead, you'll enjoy it more.
