Tow trucks do their best to get people and vehicles off the road and to safety. There are certain things drivers must do to keep tow truck drivers and their passengers safe, especially in dark driving conditions.
If you see a tow truck stopped at the side of the road, be sure to do these three things to ensure everyone - including you - remains safe on the road. First, slow down. The tow truck driver might be walking around the car trying to inspect any problems or securing the vehicle for safe towing. Next, move over into the next lane. If you can't move over, try your best to navigate past the tow truck by giving it as much space as possible.
Finally, focus only on the road while driving. This isn't the time to check your phone, change the song on the radio, or grab your drinking mug. Wait until you're well past the stranded vehicle to take that sip of holiday blend java.
