Relatively recently Michigan passed an emergency vehicle caution law. It was passed after many of us took our first driving exam so many people do not know what the law requires. In order to protect emergency responders who are frequently hurt in the line of duty, a person found guilty of violating this law is guilty of a misdemeanor. If any enhancements apply you could face the heavy penalty of up to 15 years in prison and or a $7,500 fine. To stay in the clear, if you are driving on a road with two or more lanes of travel in the same direction you must slow down and move at least one lane over from the emergency vehicle. If this is not possible due to weather, traffic, road conditions, or because it is a two-lane road it is required that you slow down and give the responder as much room as possible. If you have been charged with a violation of this section, it is important to have an experienced attorney to protect your rights.
