Mississippi HB287 requires drivers to exercise caution when approaching disabled vehicles.
Mississippi HB287 amends Section 63-3-809 of the Mississippi Code of 1972 to mandate that drivers approaching disabled vehicles on or adjacent to the roadway must slow down or move to a lane not adjacent to the disabled vehicle. This applies to vehicles stopped due to mechanical failure, flat tire, overheating, collision, or any other condition rendering the vehicle inoperable. The bill defines a "disabled vehicle" and outlines the actions drivers must take, such as reducing speed or changing lanes, to ensure safety.
