   Besides police cars, which stopped vehicle with flashing lights should you also slow down and move over for?

   Réponse: A. A tow truck helping a driver on the shoulder

   In many states, Move Over rules also cover tow trucks and highway work vehicles with flashing lights. Giving them space protects the people working beside the road.

   Braking distance grows with the square of speed, so doubling your speed makes it about four times longer.
