MOVE OVER LAW Tow Truck

Accidents happen all over America that requires a heavy duty tow truck or wrecker. And you may think that the job doesn’t have that many dangers to it, but you would be wrong. In 2005, 390 workers were killed in struck-by incidents, making up seven percent of all fatal occupational injuries. That is why the Move Over Law has been placed in effect all across the country. This law requires drivers that are coming up on an emergency vehicle, while driving anywhere on the road, to slow down (some states below 25mph) and move over to the opposite lane. That way we can ensure the safety of our police officers, construction workers, and tow truck drivers.
