TRAXERO published a comprehensive guide documenting Move Over law requirements for tow truck operators across all 50 states, including penalty structures, vehicle types covered, and the specific actions drivers are required to take when approaching a tow truck with activated lights, according to TRAXERO. The guide noted that while every state covers tow trucks, the penalty severity varies dramatically from state to state.
Operator takeaway
Know what your state's Move Over law actually requires and what the penalties are — the difference between a $100 fine and a $10,000 fine determines how seriously drivers take the law.
