Research shows that nearly 350 people are struck and killed every year while outside a disabled vehicle on the roadside in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To protect emergency responders, AAA and other traffic safety advocates have led the way in getting Move Over laws passed in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. This year, AAA is working with the Towing and Recovery Association of America to introduce a federal resolution for a National Move Over Law Day. Regionally, a Move Over for Me campaign has been created to remind drivers of the importance of paying attention, slowing down and moving over when they see others at the side of the road working or stranded with a disabled vehicle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fargo (AAA) \u2013 Gov.
