Did you know there is low in a place that protects emergency personnel operation on the side of the road? Many do not, and every year numerous emergency responders lose their lives because motorists fail to adhere to these laws.

Move over laws require motorists to change lanes whenever they see the flashing lights of emergency vehicles on the side of the road. We have all passed someone time or another. Law enforcement, ambulances, tow truck drivers, and fire trucks. If you see them on the side of the road move over or reduce speed. This protects both you and them. Unfortunately, move over laws remain unknown to most motorists.
At Gillman Nissan Fort Bend, we value the commitment our emergency service personnel provide and wish to keep them safe. So spread the word about the move over lows, and remember to move over when you see those flashing lights. It's the law, so be sure to follow it.
