I'm SAM and safety is my game ! Look for my bright orange triangle on slow moving vehicles, then approach with caution.

Safety is a shared responsibility. When you encounter a slow-moving vehicle, your patience protects you, the operator and other drivers. Adherence to traffic laws prevents tragedies on our shared roadways.

If you are behind a slow-moving vehicle, remember that the operator likely cannot see you if you are tailgating. Drop back to make sure your vehicle is visible in their mirrors or line of sight.

Slow-moving vehicles often make wide turns or enter roads from unexpected places. Give them extra space to maneuver. Crowding them or trying to squeeze by is a recipe for a crash.

The speed difference between a car and a slow-moving vehicle is dangerous if ignored. You can close a gap of several hundred feet in seconds. Stay alert and be ready to brake instantly upon seeing an SMV.

Following a slow-moving vehicle too closely limits your visibility and reaction time. Stay back to see the road ahead and give yourself room to stop if the vehicle makes a sudden turn or stop.

Patience is your best safety tool when sharing the road with slow-moving vehicles. Rushing or aggressive driving only increases the risk of a crash. Take a breath, slow down and wait for a safe opportunity to pass.

Before you pass, always check for left-turn signals or hand signals from any slow-moving vehicle. Passing when a vehicle is turning is a leading cause of serious crashes. Wait until you are certain it’s safe.

SAM says remember that operators of slow-moving vehicles are carrying out important work. They’re not on the road to inconvenience you. Courtesy and caution ensure everyone travels safely.

Driving at dawn or dusk? These are common times to encounter slow-moving vehicles. Keep your headlights on for visibility and watch carefully for vehicles entering the roadway.

Whether it’s a horse-drawn buggy, construction truck or farm vehicle, slow-moving vehicles can’t stop on a dime. Avoid pulling out in front of them or braking suddenly. Always give these vehicles plenty of room to operate safely.

Slow-moving vehicles often enter roads from unmarked driveways or work areas. Stay alert, especially where visibility is limited, and be ready for unexpected entries onto the roadway.

After a spring rain, wet roads can be hazardous, especially around slow-moving vehicles. Give extra space and drive defensively in changing weather.

Never pass slow-moving vehicles in a no-passing zone. It’s illegal and unsafe. Wait for a designated passing area with a clear line of sight. A few saved seconds aren’t worth the risk.

SAM says when following any slow-moving vehicle, stay back at least 50 feet. This gives you more time to react and keeps you visible. Tailgating puts everyone at risk.

You’ll encounter slow‑moving vehicles on roads—horse‑drawn buggies, construction trucks, street sweepers, utility vehicles and more. Be prepared to slow down and share the road. Patience helps ensure everyone gets home safely.

Distracted driving is deadly, especially when sharing the road with large, slow-moving machinery. Put the phone down and keep your eyes on the road.

Respect the orange triangle. The slow-moving vehicle (SMV) emblem means the vehicle is traveling under 25 mph. When you see it, brake early. Closing speeds are faster than you think.

Rural intersections require extra caution during planting season. Tall vegetation or equipment parked near corners can block your view. Inch forward slowly and look twice before proceeding.

Watch for sudden turns. Slow-moving farm equipment often swings wide or turns into unmarked field entrances. Keep a safe following distance and never try to pass a turning tractor.
