Perez leaves behind a widow and three children who will receive the proceeds of this fundraiser. "So when something happens, we all come together." "I really didn't know him, but we're all tow brothers around this area," Jim Falcon of Falcon Towing said.
The car wash and the hot dogs are their reminders to drivers to watch out for the warning lights and the glow-in-the-dark stripes, so this family doesn't need to do any more processions of tow trucks, headed for cemeteries. And that's the second goal of this fundraiser. They say he didn't see the tow truck and didn't seem to break any laws.
The driver who killed Perez stuck around and cooperated with CHP officers. "It's scary because people they buzz you, you know, two or three feet away from you," said Joe Madrigal with High Tech Road Service.
Most of these volunteers work for tow truck companies too, so they know what it's like to work on the side of the road with speeding cars going past. "I'd only met him a couple of times, but I know he was a very kind-hearted man," Denise Fleming with Lamona Towing explained. Most of them barely knew Perez, but they knew his heart. This is no watered-down tribute, the folks with the hoses are reaching their hands out to help Baudelio Perez, a tow truck driver who died on the job last week while helping a stranded motorist.

If your car is fitted with door mirrors approved to UN46.2,46.3, or 46.4 (ADR14.2) was a new car after 26th January 2007, your towing mirrors may project up to 25 cm beyond the widest point of the caravan. Like the slogan says "if you can't see my mirrors, I can't see you" (and you are breaking the law). The simplest way to ensure you are legal is to ensure your Mirrors are wider than the caravan, so if you look from behind the caravan ensure you can see both mirrors sticking out. What is common to the standard is it specifies a field view from a straight line parallel behind the caravan, or in other words you must be able to see down the side of the caravan. Effectively both standards specifying the field of view are very similar and just describe it in different ways. In America you must be able to see 2.4 metres out from either side of the caravan or trailer, 10.7 metres behind the driver. In Europe and Australia, you must be able to see 4 metres out from either side of the caravan or trailer 20 metres behind the driver. If your caravan is wider than your car, it is a legal requirement that you fit additional e-marked mirrors on both sides. This is not a fully comprehensive explanation of the law for every country.
