Florida: After Passing Emergency Vehicle, Driver Finds Devil in the Details

Florida Other

Motrin and Advil are known generically as ibuprofen, and you can buy the drug at any supermarket. But there’s a devil in the details, as a West Palm Beach man learned when he was stopped by Palm Beach police on Sunday.

The driver, who told an officer he was in town looking for a job at a hotel or restaurant, made a mistake by passing an emergency vehicle on South County Road without slowing down. It’s called Florida’s “Move Over” law, and it requires you to either change lanes on a multi-lane road or slow to 20 mph under the speed limit.
