Vehicles: driver training; instruction on slow-down and move-over laws; require. Amends sec. 309 of 1949 PA 300 (MCL 257.309).

The bill requires driver training programs in Michigan to include instruction on the state's slow-down and move-over laws. These laws mandate that drivers reduce their speed and change lanes when approaching emergency vehicles on the road. The goal is to enhance safety for both drivers and emergency responders.

Supporters of the bill argue that it will significantly improve road safety for emergency personnel and reduce the number of accidents involving vehicles on the roadside. By ensuring that all new drivers are educated about these important laws, the bill promotes a culture of caution and respect for those who work to keep the public safe.

Critics may contend that the bill adds unnecessary requirements to driver training programs, potentially increasing costs and time for new drivers. They might also argue that existing laws are sufficient and that more emphasis should be placed on enforcement rather than additional education.
