Senseless Deaths

Earlier this week I did a post on the Move Over Law and

it's worth repeating to continue to bring awareness to this

prevalent issue affecting the towing industry.

Move Over, It Saves Lives

Move Over, IT'S THE LAW!

The law states if you see a tow truck driver on the shoulder, 

you must move into an open lane away from the tow truck 

or slow down to a safe speed.

This is the same law protecting first responders; police, 

emergency vehicles and now tow trucks.

As we approach the holiday season let's all be more aware
on the road.

We honor those who have lost their lives.

Road Rage

Road rage is aggressive or angry behavior by a driver of an automobile 

or other road vehicle. Such behavior might include rude gestures, verbal insults, 

deliberately driving in an unsafe or threatening manner, or making threats. 

Road rage can lead to altercations, assaults, and collisions that result in injuries 

and even deaths. It can be thought of as an extreme case of aggressive driving.

      The following are common manifestations of road rage:

• Generally aggressive driving, including sudden acceleration, braking, and close tailgating
• Cutting others off in a lane, or deliberately preventing someone from merging
• Chasing other motorists
• Flashing lights and/or sounding the horn excessively
• Yelling or exhibiting disruptive behavior at roadside establishments
• Driving at high speeds in the median of a highway to terrify drivers in both lanes
• Rude gestures (such as "the finger", or [especially in Greece] giving mountzes)
• Shouting verbal abuses or threats
• Intentionally causing a collision between vehicles
• Hitting other vehicles
• Assaulting other motorists, their passengers, cyclists, or pedestrians
• Exiting the car to attempt to start confrontations, including striking other vehicles with an object
• Threatening to use or using a firearm or other deadly weapon
• Throwing projectiles from a moving vehicle with the intent of damaging other vehicles

the Move Over Law.

you must move into an open lane away from the tow truck 

or slow down to a safe speed.

This is the same law protecting first responders; police,

Defensive Driving Tactics

Are you getting ready for a fall/winter vacation, please stay alert on the road!

Sleep deprivation or fatigue is equal to a .08 alcohol level.  

From 2009 - 2012, there's been an increase in fatal crashes involving large trucks.

The only way to protect yourself is to be overly aware while on the road and

learning a few defensive driving tactics to keep you safe.

 Some things to be on the lookout for:

• Turning with a wide radius.
• Straddling the center of the road or lane marker
• Almost striking an object or other vehicle.
• Weaving or zigzagging across the road.
• Driving on other than a designated roadway.
• Swerving or abruptly turning away from a generally straight course.
• Turning abruptly or illegally.
• Driving slower than 10 mph below speed limit.
• Stopping without cause in a traffic lane.
• Stopping inappropriately (other than in lane).
• Drifting or moving in a straight-line at a slight angle to the roadway.
• Erratic braking.
• Driving into opposing or crossing traffic.
• Signaling that is inconsistent with driving actions.
• Slow response to traffic signals (sudden stop, delayed start).
