Crash Responder Safety Week serves as a crucial reminder of the dangers that first responders, including police, fire, EMS, tow operators, INDOT crews, and others, face while working on the roadside. In Indiana, the Move Over Law (IC 9-21-8-35) is in place to protect these individuals. The law requires drivers to either change lanes if it’s safe to do so or slow down to at least 10 MPH below the posted speed limit when approaching stopped vehicles with flashing lights.

By taking this simple yet vital step, drivers can help provide responders with the space they need to work safely. Compliance with the Move Over Law is not only a matter of safety but also a legal requirement. Failing to adhere to this law in Indiana can result in fines, and in severe cases where a responder is injured or killed, it can even lead to license suspension.
