Scott's Law mandates that when approaching any police or other emergency vehicle stopped along the roadway, you must: • Change lanes if possible • Always reduce speed, but reduce greatly if unable to change lanes • Proceed with increased caution An authorized emergency vehicle under Scott's Law, includes any vehicle authorized by law to be equipped with oscillating, rotating, or flashing lights (under Section 12-215 of this Code) while the owner or operator of the vehicle is engaged in their official duties. This includes emergency vehicles, Illinois Department of Transportation {IDOT) vehicles, and snowplows, among others.
