Give them distance is the idea this summer driving season. It’s the law in Illinois to change lanes and slow down when passing a stopped car on the side of the road. That goes for emergency vehicles or passenger cars. If you’re in that disabled car there are things to do to stay as safe as possible says Beth Mosher of AAA Illinois.

 

 

 

 

More than a decade ago Scott’s Law was passed making it the law to move over for parked emergency vehicles – last year the law was expanded to any vehicle on the side of the road.
