Can a move over law affect CDL?

Another one hit wonder the op

 

If it wasn't a problem then why all the move over law commercials & signs. I think the trooper did what was right.

 

Why? Most move over laws are "move over or slow down". Yes, we don't know what state this happened, but

OP never came back to say that he was in a state that it is a "only move over". 20 is way under the speed limit. Scott's law for example "
SCOTT’S LAW: THE “MOVE OVER” LAW
• Slow down;
• Drive with caution; and
• Move over to another lane. Reduce speed if changing
lanes is unsafe."

Kentucky passed a law* in 2003 requiring motorists to move to the adjacent lane when approaching an emergency or public safety vehicle. If it’s impossible or unsafe to change lanes, motorists must slow down and use caution.

New Jersey;
a. The operator of a motor vehicle approaching a stationary authorized emergency vehicle as defined in R.S.39:1-1 that is displaying a flashing, blinking or alternating red or blue light or, any configuration of lights containing one of these colors, shall approach the authorized emergency vehicle with due caution and shall, absent any other direction by a law enforcement officer, proceed as follows:

(1) Make a lane change into a lane not adjacent to the authorized emergency vehicle if possible in the existing safety and traffic conditions; or

(2) If a lane change pursuant to paragraph (1) of subsection a. of this section would be impossible, prohibited by law or unsafe, reduce the speed of the motor vehicle to a reasonable and proper speed for the existing road and traffic conditions, which speed shall be less than the posted speed limit, and be prepared to stop.

All three of these states' law, which I randomly choose, all state the same thing, if you can't move over, slow down. This guy slowed down, and still got a ticket. He hasn't been back to tell us it was in a state that requires only moving over, which I'm not sure exists. Why should he been given the benefit of the doubt?

 

You never see any of them come on here & say well I screwed up.
Blew past a stopped trooper with other lane clear. I be dang he chased me down & gave me a ticket. Now go figure the nerve of that guy.

 

Why you coming at him?

He’s a fellow truck driver, you should automatically take his side vs whoever. He told you what happened what reason do you have for not believing him? Plenty of cops are douche bags.

 

Plenty of douche bag drivers too bud.

 

Fellow drivers don't mean crap anymore. Most new breed are entitled feeling steering wheel holders .

 

Dude, you’re part of the problem.

if all he meets is people like you #### right he’s gonna be a douche bag.

It goes both ways.

 

Right most take no responsibility now days. They tear stuff up & leave for next guy. They get on here whinning fired illegall, or ticketed illegally & so on.

 

I agree with you. 99% of the time there's a way to avoid being boxed in by traffic. It's that 1% that is annoying.
