so basicly cops can give you a ticket in all states but hawaii and new york for not changeing lanes if there is a cop pulling some one over on the side of the road
More than 150 U.S. law enforcement officers have been killed since 1999 after being struck by vehicles along America's highways, according to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. To lower that deadly toll, a new coalition of traffic safety and law enforcement groups is launching a nationwide public awareness campaign to protect emergency personnel along our nation's roadsides.

It's very simple. Problem: cops getting hit on the freeway. Is this law the solution? Think about that. I dont want to hear any "maybe" "could be" "possibly reduce" type tripe. I want to know if this law is the answer to this problem.

Having no law says that it's okay to disregard police and other emergency responders' safety.

It's a law that sadly has to be put on the books because people are either a) stupid or b) inconsiderate.
