Gov. Newsom Signs Bill Expanding ‘Slow Down, Move Over’ Laws To Include All Stopped Vehicles
By Evan Symon | California Globe
A bill that expands California’s “slow down, move over law” on highways to include all stopped vehicles was signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom on Monday.
Prior to the bill, drivers in California were only required to either slow down or move over one lane if there was a stopped emergency vehicles with lights flashing. However, a 25% increase of stopped vehicle crashes since 2014, as well as a 60% increase of fatalities of people outside disabled vehicles between 2013 and 2023, spurred both lawmakers and AAA to take action earlier this year in the form of Assembly Bill 390.
AB 390, authored by Assemblywoman Lori Wilson (D-Suisun City), expands the slow down/move over requirement to apply to all marked highway maintenance vehicles, as well as make that requirement applicable to any other stationary vehicle displaying flashing hazard lights or another warning device like cones, flares, or retroreflective devices. Essentially, if there is any car on the side of the road with lights flashing or some sort of warning device, go over a lane or slow down. According to the bill, those who violate the new law face a fine $50 for each infraction.

DOJ Finds UCLA Violated Civil Rights Law
By Aaron Glifford | The Epoch Times
The Department of Justice (DOJ) said on July 29 that the University of California–Los Angeles (UCLA) has violated civil rights law by failing to address campus anti-Semitism.
Specifically, UCLA violated the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act “by acting with deliberate indifference in creating a hostile educational environment for Jewish and Israeli students,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a July 29 statement.
“This disgusting breach of civil rights against students will not stand: DOJ will force UCLA to pay a heavy price for putting Jewish Americans at risk and continue our ongoing investigations into other campuses in the UC system.”
