Move Over Law

If you were wondering what the Move Over Law is, and were afraid to ask, well here it is from the FHP..... Dave

Florida law enforcement officers are serious about enforcement of the Move Over Law!

On a two-lane roadway, you are required to slow to a speed that is 20 miles per hour less than the posted speed limit.

If the speed limit is 20 miles per hour or less, you must slow down to five miles per hour.

If you are driving on an interstate or roadway with multiple lanes of travel in the same direction, and you approach an emergency or law enforcement vehicle parked along the roadway, you must vacate the lane closest to that vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.

Violating the move over law puts both yourself and a public safety professional at risk.

Violating the move over law can result in a fine and points on your license.

For more information about Florida's Move Over Law, please visit or contact www.flhsmv.gov/fhp.

TO MAKE YOUR HOME SAFE

Residential Burglary Prevention

It's not the "Good ole days" any more.... We must all take proactive steps to help reduce the opportunity for a criminal to enter our homes. With a few easy tips we can keep our neighborhoods and our personal homes safer.
Make sure all exterior door have sturdy, well constructed dead bolt locks
Secure sliding glass doors with pressure locks across the center, drill holes into the top track and install screws left sticking out so the door can't be lifted up off it's track. Install a pin that goes thru the door frame & fixed frame.

Lock all windows or "pin" them by drilling a hole at a 45 degree angle between the inner & outer frame and insert a nail with a head large enough to be removed by you.
Don't hide keys around your yard, give one to a trusted neighbor instead.
"Light Up" Thieves hate lights!! Install extra outside lights and use them. Motion detector lights are also recommended. Invest in automatic timers for inside and outside lights.
