The Kentucky State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division will be targeting unsafe driving behavior that can lead to crashes involving commercial vehicles and passenger cars as they participate in Operation SafeDRIVE this week.

The “DRIVE” in Operation SafeDRIVE stands for “Distracted Reckless Impaired Visibility Enforcement.” The KSP will be participating in the national law enforcement effort Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

KSP commercial vehicle inspectors will open scale facilities to ensure commercial drivers are following safety regulations such as hours of service compliance, medical certifications, and proper licensing and credentialing. Motorists can help truck drivers on the road by:

-Staying out of blind spots

-Passing safely by checking mirrors and using turn signals

-Paying attention to not cut off large vehicles

-Avoiding tailgating.

The KSP says statistics show that 62 percent of fatal large truck accidents involve two or more vehicles.

Operation SafeDRIVE is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Our Roads, Our Safety campaign. Visit the DOT on the web to learn more.
