SB 778 Michigan Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Vehicles: driver training; instruction on slow-down and move-over laws; require. Amends sec. 309 of 1949 PA 300 (MCL 257.309).

SB 778 amends Michigan's vehicle code (MCL 257.309) to require driver's license applicants to answer at least two questions about approaching stationary emergency vehicles during written knowledge tests. This change directly affects all new and renewing drivers in Michigan who undergo state licensing examinations. The bill adds this specific provision to the existing testing requirements, ensuring applicants learn the legal "slow-down and move-over" rules for emergency vehicles. The amendment does not alter other testing components like driving skills tests or background checks.
