Brookfield firefighters remind drivers of 'Move Over' laws after close call

Brookfield Volunteer Fire Company was on the scene of a minor car accident on Route 7 last night and say 3 vehicles didn't move over, despite it being safe to do so.  The Connecticut Move Over Law requires a motorist approaching one or more stationary emergency vehicles located on the travel lane or shoulder of a highway to slow down and, if safe, move over one lane.  Brookfield fire officials say while to some it may seem unnecessary, safety is a top priorities. Two of the vehicles were traveling at or above the posted speed limit and were close enough to the Rescue to cause it to sway back and forth.
