HOW TO AVOID CRASHING INTO TROOPERS

Slow down, move over and look where you want to go.

SLOW DOWN – BEFORE YOU GET NEAR THE CRASH SITE

MOVE OVER – IF IT IS CLEAR AND SAFE TO DO SO

If you can’t move over a whole lane, don’t panic – move as far to the left or right in your lane as possible and slow down.
