In order to assist stranded motorists safely and effectively, the towing service experts at Discount Towing and Recovery and other roadside assistance providers must rely on other motorists to obey the "Move Over Law."

The "Move Over Law" is a set of laws that are accepted as standard throughout the United States and Canada. The law states that when an emergency vehicle with flashing lights and/or sirens is pulled over on the side of the road, all other vehicles must move over to give it one full lane of space. If that isn't possible, then they must slow down to a reasonable speed below the speed limit and give the emergency vehicle as wide a berth as possible. In most areas, this law also applies to construction vehicles, service workers, and roadside assistance vehicles like tow trucks. This is to ensure the safety of the vehicle's occupants and anyone who may be working near the vehicle.

If you see a vehicle pulled over on the side of the road, do what you can to give them a bit of extra room. If a tow truck or emergency vehicle is involved, be sure to move over as quickly as possible: One of the main reasons this law is in place is to prevent an emergency service worker from getting hurt while they were trying to assist someone who was injured.

The best way to ensure the safety of stranded motorists is to help them be on their way as quickly as possible, which is why Discount Towing and Recovery offers the fastest towing service in the Mountain Home area.
