Amendment strengthens requirements for ‘Move Over Law’ in TN

The Jabari Bailey Highway Safety Act will add more requirements to Tennessee‘s “Move Over Law” starting on Saturday.

The act states that motorists must change lanes to move away from any vehicle that is stationary on the side of the road with their hazard lights on.

The amendment is named after a Memphis teen who was injured while pulled over along the highway. State Senator Becky Duncan Massey was the sponsor of the bill and heard Bailey and his parents give a testimony to the Senate Transportation and Safety Committee.
