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.

We've been pushing for warnings for a long time I've got 24 years in the towing and recovery biz been hit twice . what's your plans now? Seeing tow trucks , garbage trucks, road construction , etc. Have the same color lights motorist can't determine the difference until their right up on you. What are we gonna do.

Please, please, please...I've been in the towing business for a combined total of 24 years. Additionally I'm a retired Paramedic / RN. I've seen the tragic results of people completely ignoring 1st responders on the roadside. As a user of Waze, as an operator of towing equipment, a parent and medical professional, please improve Waze by adding a slow down, move over warning to the app. The life it may save may be mine.

I started towing at 17 years old. When I was 18 I was doing a recovery rollover car went off side of highway. S state trooper was behind me lights flashing as mine on tow truck. I was struck car mirror hit my back. Luckily I lived...I was able to finish recovery but pain set in as well as knowing I almost died because people do not slow down and move over! Please make this law. Tow trucks are the least respected. No respect people need to understand tow trucks are emergency vehicles and personnel! People do not respect a tow truck until they are stuck we come in the freezing cold ice high heat anytime 24/7 365. We deserve to live. Please make this law be enforced! Should be taught to new drivers at driving schools and drivers license test.

Yes, adding the "Slow Down, Move Over" feature for all emergency first responders as well as a tow truck emoji/symbol would absolutely be another great feature and extremely useful tool for Waze, its users and most importantly for all of us tow operators who are also first responders that often get to a scene first and risk our lives just the same but get completely disregarded as emergency personnel although we are usually the first call from a stranded motorist or police department following a wreck. #slowdownmoveover #towlivesmatter

They should be charged with crimes when they hurt or kill tow ops. If you cant move over and just speed by you need to get your D.L Pulled

We drive from Toledo, OH to Alexandria,KY once a month on I75. We use Waze all the time and Warn motorist of emergency responders would be very helpful.

If the option to report a vehicle is possible and Police presence, then I suggest changing the police option to any emergency vehicle and the notation to slow down AND move over.
