What is the classification of a violation of the "Move Over Law"?

The classification of a violation of the "Move Over Law" as a moving violation is correct because this law specifically requires drivers to alter their course or speed in the presence of stationary emergency vehicles displaying lights. A moving violation typically involves the operation of a vehicle and its relation to traffic laws that are enacted to ensure the safety of all road users.

By failing to adhere to the "Move Over Law," a driver is actively engaging in behavior that not only violates traffic regulations but also poses a potential risk to emergency personnel and other drivers. This active engagement distinguishes moving violations from non-moving ones, which generally involve situations where a vehicle is stationary or parked and not directly affecting the flow of traffic.

Additionally, moving violations often carry points on a driver’s record, affecting insurance rates and future driving privileges. Recognizing the importance of the "Move Over Law" as a means of protecting those working on the roadside reinforces the appropriate classification of the violation as a moving violation.
