Do you have family or friends that work as emergency responders during a traffic accident? Have you ever wondered what you could do to show your support for firemen, police officers, and tow truck drivers? Moving over when you see them on the road is a great idea to show support. Not only that, but it's the law.
Nationwide, Move Over laws ensure the safety of first responders to a car accident by requiring drivers to yield and move away from the shoulder lane where emergency personnel work. However, only about 20 percent of Americans know about the law. As a result, many continue to put emergency personnel at risk by failing to merge properly when passing emergency vehicles.
Today, police can often be seen in multiple cars assisting in monitoring other vehicles during the cleanup of a car crash. Drivers who do not comply with Seaside, CA’s Move Over laws could incur steep fines. Help Porsche Monterey in our task to make the highway safer for emergency workers.
