They recently came out with a new law in New York where if you see a police officer involved in a road stop on the shoulder ,, You should move over into the fast lane if possible. I completely understand the reason yet if I was a police officer I would be pretty un comfortable with this. Reason being most accidents happen because people are not paying attention where someone might hit the back of the car or the officer themselves. But I think that it should be considered much more likely that an accident be caused down steam of traffic by people trying to change lanes, and involving the police officer.
I wonder what others think of this, especially an officer.
I know the law states, "when possible" but people can be really bad at reacting to the situation , slowing down hard,, turning down the radio,,Trying to get over abruptly and causing an accident. Hopefully I am wrong and just worry too much. And do they have this law in other states???
