In the United States, some of the most common car accidents happen with vehicles parked on the shoulder being struck by a speeding car. Many are familiar with turning on a car’s hazard lights during an unexpected stall. However, only about 30 percent of Americans have heard of Move Over laws.
Drivers are required to apply their brakes and slow down for broken vehicles. Additionally, most public services, including law enforcement and animal control, must be yielded to at the scene of wrecks on streets and expressways. Avoid the hassle of getting pulled over by the police, and move your vehicle at the first sign of a traffic obstruction.
Furthermore, Move Over laws exist throughout the country, so whether you are close to home or away on a weekend road trip, remember to slow down for motor vehicles that have an emergency. Together, we can save lives. Help us at Jenkins Acura spread the word help save lives.
