Move Over for Emergency Vehicles in Texas

Everyone knows to move over for emergency vehicles, but most people get the second part

wrong. In Texas, if you see a stopped emergency vehicle with its lights

on, you must vacate the lane closest to it. But here's the deal:

if you can't move over, you are legally required to slow down to 20 mph below

the posted speed limit. If the speed limit is already under 25 mph,

you have to drop your speed to just 5 mph. It’s not just about being polite; it’s

a law designed to protect first responders. Stay alert and give them space.
