The Urgent Need for Awareness of the "Slow Down, Move Over Law"

Vulcan Towing & Recovery is a family-owned business in Anchorage, Alaska. They have provided prompt and efficient towing and recovery services to their local community for many years. However, their mission goes beyond just providing excellent customer service. They are also dedicated to promoting roadside safety for emergency vehicles, inspired by a tragic event that happened to one of their drivers, Mike Moore.

Mike was an experienced and well-respected member of the Vulcan Towing team. He was working on a drunk driving accident scene and was hooking up the vehicle when another drunk driver crashed into his tow truck. Sadly, Mike died that day, leaving behind his family, friends, and colleagues.

The loss of Mike has deeply affected the Vulcan Towing team, and it has motivated them to take action to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future. They believe it is their responsibility as a company and as community members to promote the importance of the "Slow Down, Move Over Law."

This law requires drivers to slow down and move one lane over when an emergency vehicle is on the side of the road. It is a law and a common-sense measure that can save lives. Emergency responders often work in high-stress situations and need all the help they can get to ensure their safety. By slowing down and moving over, drivers can give emergency responders the space they need to work safely and effectively.

Unfortunately, not everyone knows the "Slow Down, Move Over Law." According to a recent survey conducted by the National Safety Commission, 71% of drivers have never heard of this law. This startling statistic highlights the urgent need for education and awareness.

Vulcan Towing & Recovery believes education is the key to promoting roadside safety for emergency responders. They have launched a campaign to raise awareness of the "Slow Down, Move Over Law" and to encourage drivers to take action to protect emergency responders. 

In addition to its awareness campaign, Vulcan Towing & Recovery has also taken steps to ensure the safety of its drivers and other emergency responders. They have also invested in training and safety equipment to ensure that their drivers are prepared for any situation they may encounter.

Vulcan Towing & Recovery understands that promoting roadside safety for emergency responders cannot be achieved overnight. It is an ongoing effort that requires the support and participation of the entire community. They urge drivers to take a moment to think about the emergency responders who risk their lives every day to keep us safe. By following the "Slow Down, Move Over Law," we can also do our part to help keep them safe.

In conclusion, Vulcan Towing & Recovery is a small business with a big heart. They are committed to promoting roadside safety for emergency responders and ensuring their drivers have the knowledge and tools to stay safe. They encourage everyone to join them to raise awareness of the "Slow Down, Move Over Law" and help make our roads safer for all.
