This week marks the beginning of the 2017 Operation Safe Driver Week (October 15-21). Drivers across the country should be prepared for increased law enforcement presence and scrutiny.
Law enforcement officers will be focused on reducing unsafe behaviors such as texting and driving, not using seatbelts, speeding, following too closely, and improper lane changes.
The goal of Operation Safe Driver Week is to reduce the number of traffic accidents, injuries, and deaths involving commercial and passenger vehicles as a direct result of unsafe driving behaviors.
