Question:

How much are you required to slow down for law enforcement, emergency workers, or tow truck drivers, if you can't move over?

Answer: 20 mph below speed limit

Explanation
Florida's Move Over Law requires you to slow 20 mph below the speed limit on two-lane roadways, move to another lane, or slow to a speed of 20 mph below the speed limit on multiple lane roadways, and slow to 5 mph if the speed limit is 20 mph or less. Not following this new law could result in both fines AND points on your driver's license.
