Safety officials are reminding Minnesotans to move over for emergency responders on the roadside.
MnDOT’s Brian Kary says as we move closer to the winter season, drivers need to take the right steps to keep those responders safe…
“…any kind of weather conditions is going to require a little bit more attention than usual to the road. Even the rain that we’ve been getting this last week can make the roads a little bit more slippery, but as we get into the winter season and experience snow and ice, we definitely want to be watching out for those emergency vehicles up ahead. Our emergency responders have a dangerous job out there and just making sure that people give them room to work so that they can get home safely and you can get home safely.”
State law requires drivers to move over a lane or slow down when an emergency responder is present.
