Understanding Nevada's "Move Over" Traffic Laws
Nevada law requires drivers to reduce speed, proceed cautiously, and move over if possible when approaching stopped emergency vehicles, tow trucks, and other incidents along the road. Violations carry fines of $150-200.
However, circumstances are not always clear-cut. A skilled attorney knows how to challenge questionable failure to yield tickets.
