When you see flashing lights on the side of the road, slow down and move over.
Giving responders a safe buffer takes just a few seconds, but it gives crews the space they need to return home SAFELY after every shift.

Drowsy driving can turn deadly long before a driver actually nods off.
Today, NHTSA released the National Survey of Drowsy Driving Knowledge, Attitudes, and Behaviors, examining how drivers perceive fatigue, recognize risks, and make decisions on the road.
Key findings include:
⚫ 55% of drivers admit to having fallen asleep at the wheel.
⚫ 1 in 3 incidents happen within the first hour of driving—not just on long trips.
⚫ 62% of drowsy drivers were on multilane highways with speeds above 55 mph.
