AAA will be working to keep impaired drivers off the road during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend

AAA predicts 54.6 million people will travel 50 miles or more from home this Thanksgiving. That’s a 1.5% increase over 2021 and 98% of pre-pandemic volumes. 

AAA has long been an advocate for “Move Over” laws, requiring drivers to slow down and move over for emergency responders on the roadside, yet there continues to be an alarming number of fatalities. Nearly 350 people are struck and killed outside a disabled vehicle each year, and roughly a quarter of motorists don’t know that Slow Down, Move Over laws exist in their state.

AAA Lincoln will be holding a free Touch – A – Truck family event, this Saturday, to highlight public safety on the roadways and the importance of moving over for all vehicles on the roadside.
