The area around a car accident can be a dangerous place, both before and after the collision. Reckless driving coupled with drivers that are unaware of certain laws can contribute to injury and tragedy. Move Over laws were made specifically to protect workers and stalled vehicles on the road, lowering the number of deaths that occur from a failure on the part of motorists to slow down and move over.
Reducing speed is the key to Move Over laws. In every U.S. state including New Jersey, all vehicles must be slowed for utility workers, paramedics, police, and others who assist in clearing up a wrecked car. If possible, drivers must change lanes to give space and clearance for large emergency vehicles and the workers who operate them.
Surprisingly, the majority of Americans have never heard of Move Over laws. That’s why Ramsey Mazda in Bergen County, NJ wants you to help us raise awareness. Everyone is welcome to stop by, so come and talk to us for lots of safety advice!
