Florida Drivers pay attention!!
A bill was just signed into law 06/24/14 and became effective 07/01/14 known as the “Aaron Cohen Life Protection Act.” This new law concerns duties of motorists involved in car crashes; “requiring the driver of a vehicle involved in a crash that results in serious bodily injury to a person to immediately stop the vehicle and remain at the scene of the crash; providing that a person commits a felony of the second degree if he or she fails to stop the vehicle and remain at the scene of the crash until specified requirements are fulfilled; requiring the court to revoke for at least 3 years the driver license of a person convicted of leaving the scene of a crash involving injury, serious bodily injury, or death, etc.”
