relative to motorist duties when approaching highway emergencies involving a stopped or standing vehicle.

This bill updates state laws to require drivers to slow down and give a wide berth to stopped vehicles, emergency responders, and people in the roadway when approaching highway emergencies or traffic stops. It mandates that motorists obey directions from authorized personnel and clear blocked lanes as soon as possible, while removing a specific provision that previously required giving a wide berth to vehicles with emergency lights. The changes aim to improve safety by standardizing driver behavior around stationary vehicles and incidents, and the law would have taken effect 60 days after passing.
