Austin Strong SDMO Awareness – 5/19/2024
Austin Strong SDMO Awareness – 5/19/2024

#AustinStrong is a nonprofit organization founded for the purpose of spreading awareness of the “slow down move over laws” that are in effect for all 50 states. The law states a driver must move over one lane or slow down to 20 mph below the speed limit if there are flashing lights on the side of the road. A first responder is struck and killed every 4.5 days because a driver does not slow down and move over. Our initiative is to spread awareness using a platform of billboards and car shows to educate the general driving population which will result in ZERO struck-by deaths.
