AL SB172

Amends Alabama's Move Over Act to include Department of Transportation vehicles displaying amber rotating or flashing lights among vehicles requiring motorists to move over or slow down.

On interstate highways or multi-lane roads, drivers must vacate the lane closest to the vehicle or slow to at least 15 mph below the posted speed limit if changing lanes is unsafe.

On two-lane roads, drivers must move as far away as possible within their lane and reduce speed by 15 mph below posted limit (or travel at 10 mph if posted limit is 20 mph or less).

Violations are misdemeanors with fines of $25 for first offense, $50 for second offense, and $100 for third or subsequent offenses.

Department of Public Safety must conduct an educational awareness campaign and include information about the law in all newly printed driver's license materials after January 1, 2010; enforcement by warning citation only for six months after August 1, 2009.
