Plenty of people know it’s the law to move over for emergency vehicles on the side of the road, but did you know you must move over for tow trucks, too?

On Sunday, tow truck and emergency vehicle operators gathered together and boosted awareness for the move over law in the second annual Move Over Awareness Rally.

Around 150 tow trucks and emergency vehicles made the trip from Bessemer to Tuscaloosa, ending their trek at the old McFarland Mall location.

“We want to go home to our families too, so all we’re asking for you to do is if you have that lane and you can move over, move over,” said tow truck driver Billy Green. “If you can slow down, slow down.”
