Silver Spring Ambulance would like to remind drivers to slow down and move over for emergency apparatus. Whether we are are responding to emergencies or operating on incidents involving highways/roadways, safety is the first priority for all emergency responders. We would like to take this opportunity to share information from PennDOT regarding the laws concerning emergency incidents that all drivers should be familiar with. Steer clear for all emergency scenes, traffic stops, roadside assistance personnel (tow trucks). Penalties include fines up to $250 for failing to move over or slow down and license suspension if the violation results in injury of personnel.
