Minnesota Permit Practice Test

The Minnesota Move Over Law requires drivers to move away from a person or car on the side of the road, specifically when they are stopped with their lights flashing. This law is designed to increase safety for emergency responders, law enforcement, and other personnel who are assisting with roadside incidents. By requiring drivers to change lanes or, if that is not possible, slow down when encountering stopped emergency vehicles, the law aims to create a safer environment for those working on the roadway and to reduce the risk of accidents. In terms of the other options, increasing speed when passing can create hazardous situations for both the driver and the personnel on the roadside. Using your horn when passing is not a requirement under this law and could be seen as aggressive or unnecessary. Stopping for all emergency vehicles is also not mandated by the Move Over Law, as it specifically addresses the action of moving over or slowing down when safe and possible.
