Move Over or get a FINE!
Posted by: info | February 10, 2008
It seems as if drivers have lost the true meaning of driving courtesy. Many lawmakers are starting to crack down on drivers who are not following the laws and they are wanting police officers nationwide to start enforcing the laws.
While driving it is very easy to be safe and follow laws. Some drivers don’t even pull over during a funeral. This shows a lot of disrespect and angers a lot of people. In general, the last car in a funeral will have the lights turned on or the cars will be in single file. Allow these drivers respect and wishes to pay their loved ones respect.
Some of the laws in which will be more enforced and should be as follows.
- Emergency Vehicles; Move over when an emergency vehicle is coming. An emergency vehicle can be a fire truck, ambulance, police car and other vehicles with proper flashing lights and sirens. Be prepared to pay a FINE if ignoring this law. The drivers need to get where they are going in a hurry. Peoples lives can be in danger and every second counts.
- Turn Signals; There has been articles on this blog about using a trun signal or blinker. Before passing a vehicle, moving into another lane, turning at a light or stop sign or going in any other direction, signal to other drivers which way. This helps avoid accidents and promotes safety and saves time. Not using a blinker can also result in a ticket.
- Stop Signs; A driver must come to a complete stop at a stop sign or a red light. Also, a driver should look both ways and be very cautious of other vehicles. In most states if not all, the driver who stops at a 4 way stop first, goes first. If two or more drivers pull up together, the driver on the right should go first. Always be cautious.
- Drive in the left lane; In most states, driving on the hwy. should be done in the left lane. The right lane should be for passing only. In Texas, this has become a strictly enforced law in certain areas. Drivers are getting tickets for driving in the right lane. If everyone was able to do this, the hwys. would be much smoother.
