As part of April’s
#DistractedDrivingAwarenessMonth campaign, SCV motor units will be conducting a Distracted Driving Enforcement Operation in the City of Santa Clarita on Thursday, April 27th beginning at 6am. Drivers observed actively texting or operating hand-held cellphones will be issued a citation.
The Distracted Driving Enforcement Operation aims at educating drivers on the rules of the road. Distracted driving is a serious traffic safety concern that puts everyone on the road at risk. In recent years, hundreds have been killed and thousands seriously injured in California as a result of collisions that involved at least one driver who was distracted.
SCV Sheriff’s Station encourages all drivers to avoid added distractions like cellphone use, eating or even applying make-up while driving. Remember to keep a
#HeadsUp and keep your eyes on the road. If you have a phone call, text or need to get directions, pull over to a safe parking spot before accessing your phone.
