It’s not only a matter of courtesy and safety, but also the law in Ontario.
And members of the OPP this week (Feb 13-16) are urging drivers to move over to keep first responders safe on roads and highways.
Derek Rogers, OPP West Region media coordinator explains a number of near misses so far this year have prompted the enforcement campaign of the Move Over law on roads and highways.
Failure to comply with the law by slowing down and moving over for emergency vehicles can result in a fine up to $2,000 plus three demerit points.
