Most drivers will slow down and pull over when they see red or blue emergency lights, but many don香蕉视频直播檛 when they see yellow flashing lights.

That was the reason for a Slow Down, Move Over Awareness Campaign conducted by the Kelowna RCMP and British Columbia Automobile Association (BCAA) on Highway 97 near Ellison Lake on April 29.

香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 really about educating the B.C. driving public about the slow-down, move over law,香蕉视频直播� said Dave Welroy, manager of tow partner relations with BCAA. 香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 any vehicle working on the side of the highway, if they have red, blue, yellow lights and they香蕉视频直播檙e pulled over, we are expected by law to slow down and move over.香蕉视频直播�

Welroy noted that while red and blue lights get people香蕉视频直播檚 attention and respect, not all drivers are paying attention to yellow flashing lights. Something else many drivers may not be aware of is the 70/40 rule.

香蕉视频直播淎nything 8o km/h and higher you have to slow down to 70 km/h,香蕉视频直播� explained Welroy. 香蕉视频直播淎nything that香蕉视频直播檚 below 80 km/h you slow down to 40 km/h. Travelling on a multi-lane road drivers must move into another lane and slow down if safe to do so.香蕉视频直播�

Safety is also a major concern, according to Welroy.

香蕉视频直播淚t is for all roadside workers. The goal is to get everyone home safe to their families. That香蕉视频直播檚 why we香蕉视频直播檙e out here educating everyone.香蕉视频直播�

Dozens of drivers were pulled over during the campaign but were not handed tickets or fines: instead, they received a warning letter explaining the law.

The letter states 香蕉视频直播渋f this were a real ticket, you would be charged a $173 fine and three demerit points.香蕉视频直播�
