A HAAS Alert analysis found that despite all 50 states having Move Over laws that cover tow trucks, compliance remains dangerously low, with the majority of drivers failing to change lanes or slow down when passing tow operators working on highway shoulders, according to HAAS Alert. The report recommended digital alerting technology and vehicle-mounted message signs as supplementary safety measures.
Operator takeaway
Every state has a Move Over law and compliance is still dangerously low — the law alone is not enough, and digital alerting technology may be the next layer of protection between you and the driver who does not see your lights.
