While it has become the norm for car and truck drivers to hurry as quickly as they can to reach their destinations, it is also important to remember that your vehicle isn’t the only one on the road and that letting an ambulance or police car by can make the difference between life and death. With that in mind, Garrett's Towing & Recovery would like to take this time to remind their clients of North Carolina's Move Over Law, especially because of the fact that accidents are at an all-time high during the holiday season.

The Move Over Law states that all civilian motorists should slow their speed and move to a separate lane or the side of the road, if possible, whenever law enforcement or emergency service vehicles are trying to get through. Though it may seem annoying and could possibly delay your schedule, making sure these vehicles can get where they need to go in a quick and efficient manner is crucial. Not only do the government workers themselves depend on you to follow this law, but the people in need of immediate emergency assistance do as well. They could be on their way to a robbery, a building fire, or a serious accident with injuries. In these emergencies, time is crucial.

The next time you need a jump start or 24-hour roadside assistance on your car or truck, call Garrett’s Towing & Recovery at (336) 476-3153, or visit their website for more information about all of their services.
