The Kentucky State Police will be participating in a federal enforcement effort over the next few days.
The KSP’s Commercial Vehicle Enforcement division will be participating in Operation SafeDRIVE Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration enforcement campaign targets unsafe driving behavior that often leads to passenger and commercial vehicle crashes.
Operation SafeDRIVE focuses on dangerous driving practices such as aggressive driving, speeding, tailgating, failing to wear a seatbelt, distracted driving, and driving under the influence. Scale facilities will be open on Kentucky interstates to ensure commercial drivers are in compliance with federal and state regulations.
The KSP encourages drivers to maintain good driving habits on the roadway to assist commercial vehicle drivers. Stay out of the blind spots of large trucks, pass safely, don’t cut off large vehicles, and avoid tailgating.
Operation SafeDRIVE is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s “Our Roads, Our Safety” campaign. Learn more at the USDOT website.
