Ohio's expanded Move Over law requires drivers to change lanes or slow down when approaching any stopped vehicle with flashing lights including tow trucks, with penalties including fines and points on the driver's license, according to Rittgers and Nakajima Law. The law was expanded over multiple legislative sessions to cover an increasingly broad range of roadside vehicles.
Operator takeaway
Ohio expanded its Move Over law incrementally — if your state's law does not yet cover tow trucks, advocate for the expansion one vehicle type at a time.
