Fight Your Ticket and Save Money
There are over twenty traffic courts in Delaware County New York. Collectively, these courts hear thousands of moving violations per year. In addition to speeding tickets issued under VTL 1180, these courts also adjudicate Move Over Law violations under VTL 1144-a.
VTL 1144-a
VTL 1144-a was enacted during the tenure of Governor Patterson. In its inception, it was designed to protect police officers while pulling over vehicles during traffic stops. In essence, it required drivers to move over and create a clear safe zone for officers while executing their duties. Since then, the law has been expanded to include all emergency safety vehicles.
The statute provides:
VTL 1144 Operation of vehicles when approaching a parked, stopped or standing authorized emergency vehicle or hazard vehicle.
(a) Every operator of a motor vehicle shall exercise due care to avoid colliding with an authorized emergency vehicle which is parked, stopped or standing on the shoulder or any portion of such highway and such authorized emergency vehicle is displaying one or more red or combination red and white lights pursuant to the provisions of paragraph two of subdivision forty-one of section three hundred seventy-five of this chapter. For operators of motor vehicles on parkways or controlled access highways, such due care shall include, but not be limited to, moving from a lane which contains or is immediately adjacent to the shoulder where such authorized emergency vehicle displaying one or more red or combination red and white lights pursuant to the provisions of paragraph two of subdivision forty-one of section three hundred seventy-five of this chapter is parked, stopped or standing to another lane, provided that such movement otherwise complies with the requirements of this chapter including, but not limited to, the provisions of sections eleven hundred ten of this title and eleven hundred twenty-eight of this title.
This is a 3 point violation and carries a fine of almost $300.00
