Nearly 2,000 citations for distracted driving were issued among the six states. Distracted driving citations include texting, cell phone, reckless and careless driving. “One of the most deadly threats to safety on our roadways is the distracted driver,” said KSP Sgt. Michael Webb. “Working in tandem with our neighbor states allows us to extend operations beyond the reach of state lines resulting in a force multiplying Service lines are shorter eff ort.” this time of year! KSP accounted for 153 distracted driving citations during the enforcement campaign. “Th is concentrated eff ort by all six agencies reduced traffi c crashes and criminal behavior at a time of year when we see height- ened travel on major interstates,” says Webb. Th e next combined enforcement eff ort is scheduled for September and will target marijuana interdiction and criminal patrol.
