Nov. 13-17 is Crash Responder Safety Week in KY

From Erin G. Eggen

Frankfort, KY - In an effort to protect those who protect us, Gov. Andy Beshear has declared Nov. 13-17, 2023, as Crash Responder Safety Week in Kentucky.

"Every day on our roadways, emergency responders and public safety personnel put their lives at risk to protect Kentuckians across the commonwealth," said Gov. Beshear. "Please slow down and move over to help keep these dedicated heroes safe as they work to make Kentucky a safer place for all of us to call home."

Kentucky passed its Move Over law in 2003 requiring motorists to move over to the adjacent lane when approaching an emergency vehicle or public safety vehicle with flashing lights (KRS 189.930). If changing lanes is impossible or unsafe, motorists must slow down and use caution. Failure to do so can result in fines, jail time or both (KRS 189.993 (8)).
