Slow down & move over warning for Emergeny Responders

Warn motorists of Emergency Responders (police cars, tow trucks, ambulances) with a Slow Down Move Over warning. Lives are being lost at alarming rates and any support of the move over laws are greatly appreciated.

    If you have a difficult or or have your car and difficult situation James a driver from Pepe's is your man for the job very professional very knowledgeable and he handled a very delicate situation for me with all the expertise of the best tour out there. I know I used to tow just thought I'd let this out

    it should be a law across the country

    Similar idea: Have the ability to specify is there is a person in the area. For example, add a separate construction option with the ability to report either an active construction zone (people working), an inactive construction zone (Nighttime, no workers present) and to specify lane closures due to construction (Right lane, Middle lane, left lane closed).

    In addition, allow the user to specify if a vehicle or cop on the side of the road is sitting abandoned (no one around)/enforcing the speed limit (Not pulling anyone over) or if a car is newly broken down (people around)/a cop writing a ticket (lights on, out of vehicle).

    On Thursday April 23, 2020 was driving home came upon an accident with no warning on an blond curve of an highway in my service truck. I physically slowed down traffic by using my work truck and purposely brake checking the traffic behind me slowing them down for police, tow trucks, and bystanders that were on the side of the road. If whoever was using MAPS or Waze could of been warned of this multiple vehicle accident.

    Yes we need to protect ll first responders including tow truck drivers that are on the side of the road. to many people dont know the laws and dont slow down or move over

    Vehicles seem to be more attentive to what is happening on the side of the road and don’t realize that their cars are going in the direction of their focus. Any opportunity to alert drivers to move over for all tow as well as emergency vehicles is a great idea. Being on a busy highway right on the shoulder is a scary feeling when traffic just flies by.

    Any help to warn the driving public. And please think use this as a great tool to save you and that person on the side of the road from the horrific event if there's an accident
