A Message from the Chairman & CEO
Emergency roadside assistance is the core of AAA’s traffic safety mission. Yet, the men and women who help AAA members when they are in need also put their lives on the line every day.
AAA tow operators respond to more than 30 million calls for help each year, working on roadside shoulders that are frequently no wider than four feet. On average, 23 tow operators are killed at the roadside every year. That means one service provider on average is killed in the line of duty every other week.
Because of these startling statistics, AAA is recommitting its efforts to increase awareness of and support for
Slow Down Move Over laws. These laws (which are
in place in all 50 states) are aimed at protecting emergency responders working along the roadside, requiring motorists to slow down and move over or change lanes, if possible, to give safe clearance.
As the holidays begin, motorists can expect roadways to be more heavily congested than usually. AAA forecasts an increase in roadside service call volume during this year-end holiday period. Dead batteries, lockouts, and flat tires will be the leading reasons AAA members will experience car trouble.
During your travels this holiday season, keep a vigilant eye on the road and the next time you see a service vehicle at the roadside, slow down and move over. Their lives are on your shoulders. Please, have a safe and happy holiday season.
