Prison time now possible for violating North Carolina 'Move Over' law

fox46charlotte.com The North Carolina Move Over Law is pretty simple. If you see first responders on the side of the road, slow down and move one lane over. As simple as it sounds first responders are still being hit, and in some cases killed, by drivers. That’s one of the reasons North Carolina lawmakers have passe...

Towing Is Rad

The Tow Truck Operator

The first thing that seems to come to mind is a guy out to steal your car, right? Most people never take the time to consider what the life of a tow truck operator actually involves. They are too busy worrying about getting to work, or home, on time. Having no compassion for the reasons why the big trucks with flashing lights are blocking their path. Or why a driver isn't there the instant the phone is hung up after a call asking for help with a lockout or tire change. That mess of trucks and flashing lights that just happens to be in the way? Well that was a car verses semi-truck involving someone who is also trying to get to work. In their hurry they changed lanes, cutting in front of the semi, without regard for the extra distance that semi-truck needs to stop. Now those ‘tow drivers’ are fighting a delicate balance between life and death trying to lift the mangled wreck off of the drivers. And that lockout or tire change that was requested and “that tow truck driver”, was 45 min later than expected? Well it was because he was rerouted to unlock a car with an infant and a toddler in it. The toddler thought it would be fun, on a very hot day, to hit the buttons while mom was putting the stroller in the trunk. The infant is now starting to cry because of the rising heat in that locked car. You see, a tow truck operator isn't paid much. Most of the bill goes to company costs like truck maintenance, fuel costs, insurances, property costs, payroll, etc. They never get a full night’s sleep, regular meals, or let alone time to take a shower, or use a restroom! Why, you ask? Because they are almost constantly running 24/7, in rain, sleet, snow or shine, leaving little or no time for their families. They miss their children’s activities, as well as bits and pieces of holidays, and birthdays, to help those in need.Granted there are some drivers (and companies) who still give the industry a bad name. So when you find a good company or driver, stick with them, request them if given (or ask for) the option, and promote them.
It takes a special person to be a tow truck operator!

So Please, the next time you need to get assistance from a tow truck operator, THANK him/her for their time and help. You just happen to be getting a brief bit of their time that their family doesn't.

Jamies automotive would personally like to thank all the people that have helped with this storm and cleanup. We still have a way to go but we will get there with gods help. Let us not forget not only fire law ems and lineman, but the emergency management, Red Cross, church groups, dispatchers, dot, city maintenance workers and many more. Some of these people have not been home or seen there family since Thursday. We are truly blessed that people can come together in a time of need. Please remember there is still some good in the world and gods still healing wether the news reports it or not. To all the people effected and who have lost everything you are in our prayers. God bless.

Nothing like getting up at 2 am during a curfew from a hurricane to impound a moped for the police department. Some things never change, I'm just glad it weren't under water.

We are available for wrecker calls or office suffered damage but we are still operating. Call my cell at 910-770-5209 if you need a tow.be safe and god bless.

tow.be When you're stranded on the side of the road waiting for a tow truck every minute you wait increases your chances of becoming one of the more than 6500 people killed or injured on US shoulders each year. Motor clubs, like AAA, leave you stranded for an average of 45 minutes, and in some cases hours....
