How to best follow Scott's LawMore at the full article here, including a video segment and interviews.
You've heard it a lot recently: Move over for emergency responders. Now, that message is being stressed even more.
Police are working harder than ever to spread the message of Scott's Law to keep officers safe. Some are even making changes on their end. But sometimes it's hard for drivers to figure out the best thing to do.
When it comes to getting a ticket for breaking Scott's Law, officers say they take it case-by-case. They understand you might be boxed in by other vehicles or you can't see what's ahead of you because of traffic or the weather. But that doesn't mean drivers should be careless...
There are also cases where you need to slow down around a traffic stop. But officers remind people to be careful how much they slow down because that might put the driver behind you at risk.
