MOVE OVER FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES

It should be a matter of "common sense" that one pulls over or yields to an emergency vehicle on our roads and highways. The sirens and flashing lights are in use for a reason. Apparently our emergency responders are not getting sufficient cooperation from drivers in our State. To address this matter the State will conduct a week long project aimed at educating drivers to "Move Over."

The Naples news has reported: Beginning June 23, and running to June 29, that: "Collier County sheriff's deputies say they will participate in a statewide Move Over Florida campaign!"

This effort is to educate drivers to act in a manner that protects emergency responders and law enforcement officers. V.W. Resident would like to let neighbors know of this campaign.
