🚨 Troy’s Law deserves action, not silence. 🚨
To us, Troy was not a headline.
He was our family.
Troy was a wonderful man. He was a loving father who showed up every day for his kids. A brother you could call at any hour. A son who made his family proud. A friend who would stop what he was doing to help someone else. He had a big heart, a strong work ethic, and a deep sense of responsibility for the people around him.
He was also a tow operator.
And that matters, because Troy was one man in an industry filled with men and women who work inches from traffic, on Kentucky’s busiest roadways, in the dark, in the rain, in the cold. They do this so the rest of us can get home safely.
House Bill 282, known as Troy’s Law, has been sitting in the House Transportation Committee for nearly a month with no movement.
This bill costs nothing.
Zero taxpayer dollars.
No grants.
No federal funding.
No state funding.
It simply gives the towing industry permission to use rear-facing blue lights to make operators more visible and safer while they work. That’s it.
If this doesn’t work as intended, hold the industry accountable. But refusing to act when the solution is this simple is unacceptable.
Ask yourself honestly:
If Troy were your father, your brother, your son, would you stay silent?
Or would you demand change?
This isn’t politics.
This is about being seen.
This is about safety.
This is about making it home alive.
