According to an article published in Newsday, a new provision of New York State’s Move-Over Law starts Sunday, January 1^st, 2012.

“The law that requires motorists to move over a lane when approaching flashing police lights will include the flashing amber lights of tow trucks and other emergency-type vehicles, police said Tuesday in a news release,” (Newsday.com). 

The law was designed to protect police and other law-enforcement officers who typically pull over the motorists or stop to help. The original law took effect January 1^st of 2011. 

Starting Sunday, the law includes protection for drivers of tow trucks and other emergency-type vehicles including road crews. 

“State Police joined forces with Department of Transportation workers and two truck operators in a news conference Tuesday morning at a Clifton Park rest stop to publicize the new phase of the law,” reported Newsday. Included at the press conference were DOT Executive Commissioner Stanley Gee, Tom Brennan, president of Empire State Towing & Recovery Association, and State Police Superintendent Joseph D’Amico.
