State Police and local law enforcement agencies are participating in the national “U Drive. U Text. U Pay.” mobilization to raise awareness about the dangers of distracted driving. Police are stepping up patrols during this enforcement initiative which runs from now through Monday. During the October 2020 distracted driving campaign law enforcement throughout the state issued more than 30,000 vehicle and traffic law tickets with nearly 10% for distracted driving. April is national Distracted Driving Awareness Month.
