Slow Down, Move Over: A Call for Roadside Safety [THA 439]
Thanks to our Partners, NAPA TRACS, and Today’s Class
Recorded at the NAPA NOW Event, this episode explores the “Slow Down, Move Over” (SDMO) initiative, a vital traffic safety campaign focused on protecting roadside workers, emergency responders, and stranded drivers. It highlights the dangers these individuals face, including staggering statistics on injuries and fatalities. The conversation underscores the importance of driver awareness, professional training for tow truck operators, and the use of technology like Safety Cloud, which warns motorists of roadside hazards. Real-life stories add emotional weight, while fundraising efforts support awareness and aid impacted families. The message is clear: slowing down and moving over saves lives.
