It’s not just common courtesy. It’s Texas law.
In June alone, six first responders were killed in roadway-related incidents.
These weren’t just officers and firefighters. They were sons, daughters, husbands, wives, parents, friends, and neighbors who never made it home.
Every time you see flashing lights on the side of the road, remember that someone is working just a few feet from traffic. They deserve to go home to their families just like you do.
🚨 Texas law requires drivers to Move Over or Slow Down when approaching emergency vehicles, law enforcement, fire apparatus, EMS, tow trucks, and TxDOT vehicles displaying emergency or warning lights. If you can safely move over, you must. If changing lanes isn’t possible or safe, you are required to slow down to at least 20 mph below the posted speed limit (or 5 mph if the speed limit is 25 mph or less).
This isn’t about avoiding a ticket.
It’s about preventing another funeral.
Please honor the memories of the six first responders we lost this month by doing one simple thing every time you see emergency lights:
Move Over. Slow Down. Save a Life.
Because someone is waiting for them to come home.
