A host of new laws will take effect Jan. 1, and one will require drivers to move over or slow down when they see a disabled vehicle on the side of the road.
Before Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the new law, drivers were required only to move over from emergency, service and construction vehicles with their warning light activated.
