HPD to inform motorists about new 'move over' law

By June Watanabe

~~Question: We were driving west on Moanalua Freeway just past Red Hill in heavy traffic on Sept. 22. There was a serious single-car accident, and the disabled vehicle was on the left shoulder. An ambulance and a police vehicle were parked in the left lane adjacent to the disabled vehicle. Traffic had slowed to a crawl, but none of the vehicles moved over to create a one-lane buffer to the first-responder vehicles. Is this appropriate under the new law?
Question: As I drove down the H-2 freeway recently, I was concerned to see two HPD solo bike officers assisting a motorist, and not one car moved over to provide a safety zone for those officers. I see the "Click It or Ticket" signs along the freeways. How about a sign reminding us to "Move Over"?
