The Law holds that motorists in California could be fined for failing to slow down or move over when passing parked emergency vehicles.

Move Over!
I recently found this story regarding the Move-over Law:
I wanted to let my Medlock Bridge neighbors know about the move over law. My son got a ticket on Pleasant Hill coming back from Wal-Mart. A Duluth police car (turned out it was 2 police cars) was on the side of the road giving a ticket to someone else. My son slowed down to pass but did not move into the other lane. The second police car immediately pulled him over and gave him a ticket. My son and I had never heard of the law. It is a fairly new law that states if any emergency vehicle is on the side of the road, if you are able, you are to move into the next lane or slow down to 20 miles below the posted Speed limit.
As the cost of the ticket was $754, with 3 points on your license and a mandatory court appearance, it seems like an important law to share. Beware people!
