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.

    A thousand votes YES!!!! My son was killed by someone who didn’t Slow Down or Move Over. He was 22 and this was totally avoidable.

    Excellent idea. Add a tow truck emoji to the screen.

    A tow truck features should definitely be added.

    We all all the talk but do not walk the walk, I’ve been in the towing business for over 30 years. We all say slow down and move over. But when it comes down to moving over we all want motorists to move over and give us room to work. The worst offenders is our own tow buddies. The same tow guys that preach slow down and move over do not slow down or move over . Can’t count the times I’ve been on the side of the road helping someone and feel someone pass right by me within inches and turn to see it was a tow truck that did not slow down or move over.

    As a tow wife and former towing dispatcher, this is an AMAZING idea! This should've been done across the board for all maps & gps apps & units. I want my husband to come home at the end of his shift.

    It’s a very good idea, let drivers know we are human being helping people on the road

    Please make it a priority to show appreciation for Emergency Responders who go out every day and put their lives on the line to serve by slowing down and moving over for them on the highways and other roads. That very Responder could be the one that helps to either save your life or your loved ones life or has helped to in the past. If you recklessly put their lives in danger then it could inadvertently cause your emergency or loved ones' emergency situation to not be met.

    yes thats would be great for all emergency responder also have waze tell you the the company name too

  • Howard commented  ·   ·  Report

    We should be allowed to use the red white and blue lights like first responders use because we are also trying to save lives.Think about it highway street works have support from their city but we don't. Let's save lives, not only for tow truck driver's but honest human beings that are just having a bad day and trying to get to their family's like we are.
