This morning, the Corpus Christi Police Department along with local wrecker companies conducted a two-hour operation targeting drivers not moving over for tow truck vehicles stopped on the side of the road. In the two-hour period officers stopped 30 vehicles for not moving over or slowing down for the wreckers. The officers wrote a total of 36 citations, impounded 1 vehicle and made one arrest for a warrant as a result of the traffic stops.
The law requires that drivers move out of the lane closest to the vehicle when possible or reduce your speed to 20 miles per hour below the posted limit. Those vehicles covered under this section are police, fire, wreckers and Texas Dept. of Transportation.
Please pay attention while driving and if you see one of these vehicles on the side of the road with emergency lights activated, slow down and move over. For reference see Texas Transportation Code 545.157 PASSING CERTAIN VEHICLES.
