June is #MoveOver Month. #VDOT wants to remind you to move over when you see flashing blue, red or amber lights on the side of #VA highways. No room to move over? Please #slowdown and proceed with caution #MoveOverVA@VSPPIO@VirginiaDMV 🚔🚨🚙
We can't talk about #moveover without sending love to our brothers & sisters in amber lights-- towing companies. They play an important role in helping us clear incidents & reopen lanes quickly. Their work is complex & dangerous and we cannot express enough appreciation for them!
June is #MoveOverMonth. Whether it's a flashing red, blue or amber colored light, please #MoveOverVA. It's the law and it could mean a life. Let's make sure everyone, everyday, arrives home safely on #VA highways. #WednesdayWisdom#DriveSafe https://t.co/LvaPhUvR7H
#MoveOverRVA - See what we mean, #RVA? This crash occurred just last night in a work zone. Failing to #MoveOver can result in serious damage, injuries and deaths. Those flashing lights 🚨 are your sign to slow your roll and move into the next lane. #RVAtraffic@CBS6@8NEWS@NBC12

Tow procession – For Michael Buffington, 37, of Richland, Miss., who died in roadside last week. "It's an honor we like to provide for our fallen brothers. It's the least we can do to show our respect and support for the family and for the company." https://t.co/8ub9dCb7V2
