PORTLAND (WGME) -- Emergency responders are seeing a drastic increase in the number of drivers failing to follow Maine's "move over" law.

 

There have been a lot of close calls in recent weeks, and the Bureau of Highway Safety is asking you to take responsibility when you get behind the wheel.

 

First responders, law enforcement, Maine DOT and tow truck operators risk their lives every day responding to calls.

“What we’re seeing is people just completely ignoring it and not moving over and they have all the space in the world to do so,” Road Assist Services Operations Manager Kyle Snyder said.
