      This new law is stupid, most of the time there is no room to move over to and too fast to do it on time before passing the patrol car, at 55 to 75 mlph things pass you by very fast, by the time you try to maneuver to the side, the patrol car is already behind you. This has the potential to create accidents among drivers try to move to the side all at the same time with very little room to do so.

    The move over law is a bad law, it always has been a bad law. I am a retired Trooper and I witnessed on the Florida Turnpike in Miami just south of Tamiami Trail in the southbound lanes a driver who slowed and swerved to the left to obey the move over law and a total of 7 other vehicles had to take evasive action to avoid a crash, there ended up being 7 vehicles that were spinning out of control and how none of them hit anything is a miracle. There was another move over law incident that occurred on Alligator Alley in Collier County (Naples Florida) where a car went to move over and there was already another car in the inside lane next to them, the car swerved back to the right and lost control striking a car that was pulled over by a trooper hitting that car in the left side resulting in the death of a passenger in the back seat of the car that was pulled over.
    Just because something looks good on paper does not mean it is good in the real world. Move over laws should all be removed from the books. With all the traffic violations that occur on the roads if this is what the Florida Highway Patrol is choosing to enforce then the Florida Highway Patrol has lost their way.

I can't tell you how many times I am riding along lah dee dah in the middle lane and a Trooper is stopped on the shoulder ahead and everyone and their mother slides left into the middle lane, absolutely ignoring any following distance rule, and creating a dangerous situation where one error could create a massive multi-car pile up. And for what? If I am getting pulled over on the highway, I turn on my hazard lights (4 ways) on and wait until there is a safe spot to pull over, such as halfway on the grass. I want the Trooper safe. How about Troopers just follow a car and not light them up until they know there is a safe place to pull over? Also this ticket blitz targeting people who don't forcefully merge left and slow down is ABSOLUTE BULLSH*T.

      Not good at all, and nothing to do with her being a girl, FHP allows promotions into supervisor positions way to fast, these people promote so fast they never learned how to be a trooper and now they are giving orders to troopers. It has been a disaster for years in FHP. You get some young kid who promotes quickly never learning the job and they are trying to tell seasoned troopers how to do their job and 99% of the time the young promoted trooper has no clue what they are doing. FHP has gone down hill over the years because of the liberal fast promotion system they have. You should have to be a trooper for a minimum of 10 years before you promote to sergeant, you should be a sergeant for 5 years before you promote to lieutenant and you should be a lieutenant for 5 years before you can promote to captain, promotions above captain could then be a shorter time, that would make sure you had seasoned people in supervisor positions who know how to do the job and not a bunch of young kids still in diapers trying to tell seasoned troopers how to do the job.
