I am Chris Williams and I was born with cerebral palsy and underdeveloped optic nerve. This has caused me to be completely blind in 1 eye and 3% sight in the other. As a graphic designer I am working with great technology and supporting myself, as well as fitting into my community. I have had the opportunity to work at the Help Desk for companies such as Kodak and Time Warner Cable where my sales and service skills became very strong. Learning WordPress as a visual challenged person, made the task harder as I had to gain a greater understanding of the PHP as regular readers do not work with the Editors software. In 2011 I got involved with the Tow Truck industry and have gained excellent knowledge and contacts within this field. The Tow Truck industry’s lack of websites is where my talent came in and abled me to continue my career. With my graphic web design these companies started to see a 70%+ in volume calls.
This is when “SDMO Apparel was created. I immediately received a great response and quickly added several other designs. They all are pushing for awareness of the Move Over Law and the safety of the tow truck drivers. The public needs to be educated that the tow truck vehicles are part of the first responder emergency team too. To slow down when police, fire trucks, ambulances, tow trucks, municipality, utility, personal vehicles, are pulled over by the side of the road, and move away from the vehicle by one lane, or if that is not possible, slow down to either a reasonable speed or a fixed speed below the limit as defined by local law. I am excited to be able to get the word out about this important law, which most likely will save lives.
Move Over laws were originated in the United States after a South Carolina paramedic, James D. Garcia, was struck and injured at an accident scene Jan. 28, 1994, in Lexington, SC. Garcia was listed at fault, leading to his work to create a law to protect other emergency responders. SC’s version (SC 56-5-1538) passed in 1996, and was revised in 2002.
According to the statistics, one tow-truck driver is killed on the job every six days. Every month, one law enforcement officer is lost. Every year, five firefighters are killed on the roadside in America. These deaths could largely be avoided if the Slow Down, Move Over laws were abided.
We live in a fast-paced world. Everyone always wants to get everywhere faster. However, no destination or schedule is worth a life. It’s the law to slow down and move over (whenever possible). Doing so could save a life of a dad, mom, brother, sister or friend. Behind every tow truck operator, highway worker, law enforcement officer, firefighter and emergency responder is a family waiting for them to come home.
I am looking for one well written peace supporting each of my design category
