PAW PAW, Mich. — Michigan State Police Troopers will be on the lookout for any violators of Michigan's Move Over Law on Friday.

Troopers are conducting the enforcement on a specific day to honor the anniversary of Trooper Rick Johnson's death who died on May 6, 2000.

Johnson's death was caused by a violator of the Move Over Law, according to Michigan State Police.

The enforcement is important due to the immediate danger it causes to troopers and first responders.

The following requirements for drivers who pass authorized emergency vehicles are:

  • Reduce speed by 10 miles per hour below the posted speed limit.
  • If an additional lane of travel is open in the same direction, move over to the open lane.
  • If a lane is not open or movement is not possible, the driver shall reduce their speed by 10 miles per hour below the posted speed limit.

More information on the Move Over Law and it's penalties can be found on the Michigan government website.
