January is ‘Transfer Over Month’ in Florida and it has nothing to do with the aged snowbirds hogging the left lane.

As a substitute, the marketing campaign is targeted on reminding drivers that they’re legally required to maneuver into an adjoining lane when approaching stopped emergency automobiles and tow vehicles when their lights are flashing.  If that’s not an possibility, drivers are alleged to “gradual to a pace that’s 20 mph (32 km/h) lower than the posted pace restrict” or “decelerate to five mph (8 km/h) when the posted pace restrict is 20 mph (32 km/h) or much less.”

The final word objective is to maintain folks protected as quite a few law enforcement officials, EMTs, tow truck drivers, and building employees are struck and killed yearly.  Sadly, not everybody heeds these warnings and the outcomes may be tragic.

To assist showcase why transferring over is so necessary, officers launched surprising footage to native media stations.  Within the clip, which was reportedly filmed one or two years in the past, we will see a disabled car within the grassy median of a divided freeway.  As a dashcam information, a tow truck operator is reducing the flat mattress to load the car and take it away.

Issues take a fast flip as an obvious Lexus RX drifts onto the shoulder and takes out a row of cones.  The crossover then hits the flat mattress, which acts as a ramp and sends the car right into a flying barrel roll.  The driving force fortunately survived, regardless that the crossover reportedly traveled greater than 500 ft (152 meters).
