This is what distracted driving really looks like.
It’s not a cracked bumper. It’s not a scratched fender.
It’s a kid in the street. A scream you’ll never forget. A life shattered because your phone just couldn’t wait.

That text? Not worth it. That scroll? Not harmless.
You’re not just holding a phone, you’re holding someone’s future in your hands.

We’re the ones who show up after the worst has already happened. You can stop it before it does.

“Eyes on the road. Hands on the wheel.”

Did you know that April is National Distracted Driving Awareness Month?

At Northwestern Towing, we’ve launched our “Eyes on the Road. Hands on the Wheel.” campaign—not just to fight distracted driving, but to highlight how inattention behind the wheel directly puts lives at risk. Let’s take a second to talk about what that really means.

You’ve seen it, maybe even done it:
A quick text at a red light. Scrolling a playlist. Grabbing lunch behind the wheel. But what happens when distraction turns deadly?

We see the aftermath every single day that distracted driving creates. The lives torn apart by the carelessness of distraction behind the wheel are immeasurable. Families lose loved ones. Children grow up without parents. First responders, tow operators, and everyday motorists face danger simply because someone looked down at a phone.

In Oregon, the “Move Over Law” (ORS 811.147) requires drivers to move over a lane or slow down when approaching vehicles with flashing lights—tow trucks, police, fire, EMS, or any vehicle with hazards on. If moving over isn’t possible, drivers must slow down by at least five mph below the posted speed limit.

Our operators are out there 24/7, inches from speeding traffic, trusting that drivers are paying attention and will do the right thing. But when you’re distracted… you don’t see the flashing lights. You don’t move over. You don’t slow down.

And someone pays the price.

Let’s make it personal. Let’s make it stick.

Take the pledge:
No distractions. No excuses. And always—ALWAYS move over.

This might be the most unfiltered, brutally honest, hilarious 5-star review we’ve ever received.

“i’m taking the time to shout out Izzaya for being so spectacular at the job he did tonight.
my car is broken and i’m sitting here wondering if i really need two kidneys.. so i can get my car fixed.
i’m broke. i’m desperate.
but i’m still motivated to make sure Izzaya gets recognized before i start shopping around my vital organs on the black market.
hard working, capable people like him are so rare these days.
6 months in and he is putting my car up and back down with percision.
so gently, i felt like i should whisper when i spoke.
super chill, easy to talk to, and very good at what he does.
if you need a tow, definitely consider northwestern towing and recovery. they must be doing it right if they are able to snag talent like Izzaya.”

🦾🪝Big shoutout to Izzaya for being a straight-up pro—precision, professionalism, and personality all in one. We see you, man. Portland’s lucky to have guys like you out on the roads repping our name and setting exames for what it means to provide a community service!

To Zack: Keep both kidneys. We got you.
