A bill to amend 1949 PA 300, entitled"Michigan vehicle code,"by amending section 309 (MCL 257.309), as amended by 2022 PA 45.
AI Summary
This bill requires that driver's license examinations in Michigan include at least two questions about approaching and passing a stationary authorized emergency vehicle, in accordance with section 653a of the law. This change aims to ensure new drivers understand and are tested on their knowledge of "slow-down and move-over" laws, which are designed to protect emergency responders and roadside workers by requiring drivers to slow down and, if safe, move over a lane when passing a stopped emergency vehicle. The bill amends section 309 of the Michigan Vehicle Code, which outlines the requirements for obtaining an operator's or chauffeur's license.
