What is the fee added to any speeding fine if a driver fails to reduce speed when passing emergency vehicles?

The fee added to any speeding fine for failing to reduce speed when passing emergency vehicles is set at $25. This penalty is part of Minnesota's efforts to enhance the safety of emergency personnel who are often engaged in life-saving activities on the road. The law requires drivers to slow down to a safe speed when approaching emergency vehicles to protect both the emergency responders and themselves. The additional fee serves as a deterrent, encouraging drivers to adhere to this critical safety measure. This legislative action underscores the importance of being vigilant and cautious on the roads, especially in situations where emergency services are in operation.
