Move Over Law
- The "Move Over Law"
is a part of the "Failure to Yield to Emergency
Vehicles Law".
- Tennessee was the 30th state
to establish a move over law which creates a safety
zone to protect police, firefighters, and other emergency
personnel.
- Beginning July 1, 2006, penalties
for violating the Move Over law in Tennessee increased
from a maximum $50 fine to a $100 to $500 fine and
possibly up to 30 days in jail.
- " T.C.A. 55-8-132. Operation
of vehicles and streetcars on approach of authorized
emergency vehicles.
- " The "Move Over"
campaign was created to raise awareness of the move
over law, and protect state troopers and others whose
workplace is often the side of a busy highway.

Amendment to Financial
Responsibility Law
Tennessee's Financial Responsibility Law (T.C.A.,55-12-139)
changed effective January 1, 2002. At the time the driver
of a motor vehicle is charged with any moving violation
under Title 55, Chapters 8 and 10, Parts 1-5, Chapter
50; any other local ordinance regulating traffic; or
at the time of an accident for which notice is required
under Section 55-10-106, the officer will request evidence
of financial responsibility. In the case of an accident
for which notice is required under Section 55-10-106,
the officer will request such evidence from all drivers
involved in the accident, without regard to apparent
or actual fault.
In addition, effective July 2,
2003, T.C.A. 55-12-140 requires the court to report
the dismissal of violations of failure to provide evidence
of financial responsibility under 55-12-139, if the
charge was dismissed because the person obtained evidence
of financial responsibility prior to the court's disposition.
The department will place a STOP on your vehicle file
and not issue a renewal of registration for any vehicle
for which evidence of financial responsibility is required
under 55-12-139. This applies to drivers with cases
dismissed because of obtaining the evidence of financial
responsibility prior to the court's disposition and
drivers suspended because of conviction.
>back to
top
Evidence of Financial Responsibility
Evidence needed to comply with the law includes documentation
such as an insurance card, binder or declaration page
of a policy from an insurance company authorized to
do business in Tennessee, stating that a policy of insurance
meeting the requirements of the Tennessee Financial
Responsibility Law of 1977 has been issued; or a certificate
from the Department of Safety noting that a cash deposit
or bond has been posted in the amount required by the
Tennessee Financial Responsibility Law of 1977, or that
a person has qualified as a self-insurer under Section
55-12-111, or the motor vehicle being operated at the
time of the violation was owned by a carrier subject
to the jurisdiction of the Department of Safety or the
Interstate Commerce Commission, or was owned by the
United States, this state or any political subdivision
thereof, and that such motor vehicle was being operated
with the owner's consent.

Child
Safety Tips
|
- Make sure your
child learns his or her address and phone
number at an early age. A second phone
number of a friend or relative is also
helpful.
- Teach your child
how to call 911 in case of an emergency.
- Do not leave a
child unattended while shopping, visiting
with neighbors or friends, or running
errands. Under no circumstances should
you leave a child alone in a vehicle.
- When home alone,
children should never open the door for
strangers.
- On the telephone,
your child should never let anyone know
they are home alone. Discuss responses
such as: "Mom/Dad is busy right now."
- A child should
never leave school or daycare with anyone
except a parent or guardian. You and your
child should have a password in case you
send someone else to pick them up.
- When shopping
or in a crowd, children should be taught
who to go to if separated from you. (Cashier,
clerk, security officer, etc.) The child
should never leave the store looking for
you.
- Make sure your
child knows to scream and run if approached
in an alarming way by anyone.
- Your child should
know to make you aware anytime he or she
feels uncomfortable with anyone.
- Get to know the
Internet and the sites your child visits.
Teach your child to never give out personal
information online. Your child should
NEVER arrange a meeting with anyone he
or she meets online.
- Make sure your
child always checks with you before going
anywhere with anyone. Have them inform
you of where they are going, whom they
are going with and when they will be home.
- Keep a record
of your child's personal and medical information
on hand in case of an emergency. Always
include a recent photograph.
- Remember to teach
children that police officers are their
friends, and that we are there to help
them.

DUI Facts
A single DUI (Driving Under the Influence) conviction
could cost you as much as $5,000 or more after all fines
and fees have been paid. A first offense DUI charge
could easily add up to such a staggering cost! The cost
could be even higher if you don't qualify for the restricted
driver license for driving to work during your suspension.
This could add expense for alternate transportation
(taxi, bus fare, etc.) or even worse, the complete loss
of your employment.
Driving Under the Influence (DUI)
includes not only alcohol, but any intoxicant, narcotic
drug, or other drug producing central nervous system
effects -- including prescription drugs.
