Heavy traffic conditions prevent some from moving over, and may result in stupid accidents as we "move over". I'm all for protecting the troopers, but they need to use common sense in pulling over vehicles. They need to perhaps instruct the driver to go to the next exit. That's what we need: a "next exit" law. All persons who are lit up for speeding or reckless driving need to proceed to the next exit. That would make things safer for everyone concerned. The troopers need to approach on the rider's side, and not subject themselves to driver's side sideswiping. Just a thought. The move over law may help some, but it isn’t always practical.
