Apparently, there is a new traffic law that requires drivers to move over when there is an emergency vehicle on the side.
It's common sense and all drivers should know that when driving and you see an emergency vehicle, pull over to the side (right side). Now a new rule:
If you see a cop car, paramedic, fire fighter, etc to the side (right side), drivers need to move over to the left to give the emergency vehicles space. This prevents cops or pulled over vehicles from getting hurt or damaged. If moving over is not possible, the driver needs to slow down to 20 miles per hour below the posted speed limit.
This used to be common courtesy, but now it is mandatory. If not, you can get a $50.00 fine.

Haiti Relief Fund
From Salvation Army
Dear Caring Friend,
You may not know this, but The Salvation Army has worked in Haiti for 60 years, running schools, children’s homes, hospitals, and nutrition programs, and providing many other important services.
After last week’s devastating earthquake, our work in this impoverished country has never been needed more.
Thanks to generous friends like you, The Salvation Army has already leapt into action to provide life-saving care and God’s comfort for earthquake survivors.
Currently, we’re getting ready to rush more than 44,000 pounds of emergency food rations to people in the worst-hit areas. We’re also working to deliver safe drinking water – critical to helping prevent the spread of disease after a disaster like this. With most hospitals destroyed, medical care is going to be a top priority, too.
I’d like to offer you the opportunity to help us. Your gifts to the Army have always been used in your community. But today, I urge you to look beyond San Diego to our suffering brothers and sisters in Haiti. This truly is their darkest hour. Your love will remind them they are not alone, no matter how great their pain.
Please visit www.sandiego.salvationarmy.org to give a gift today. Your kindness will be a part of our every effort. Your kindness will SAVE LIVES.
Thank you for doing all you can.
And please, keep the people of Haiti in your prayers during this time of overwhelming grief.
God bless you,
Major Linda Markiewicz
