Three times each month someone in North Carolina is injured or a vehicle is crashed due to motorists not complying with the move over law. That's according to recent findings by AAA.

The law requires motorists to move over into another lane if possible if a law enforcement or emergency vehicle is on the side of the road and the lights are flashing. Emergency vehicles include fire trucks, public and private ambulances, and public service vehicles. If motorists cannot get into the other lane they are asked to slow down and be prepared to stop, an addendum to the law made it tougher in 2006. But AAA officials and state troopers say too many North Carolina motorists are not obeying the law.

State Troopers say often the motorists blame not following the law on using cell phones, turning the radio, and some say they did not know about the law. Violators are fines $370.
