KSP targeting commercial vehicle enforcement as part of national campaign

The Kentucky State Police is participating in a federal enforcement effort involving commercial vehicles.

The KSP’s Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division is participating in Operation SafeDRIVE, which runs through this Saturday.

The KSP says the campaign targets unsafe driving behavior that often leads to passenger and commercial vehicle crashes. During Operation SafeDRIVE, KSP officers will patrol major highways, conduct commercial driver safety inspections at scale facilities, and ensure compliance with federal safety standards.

The KSP encourages drivers to maintain good driving habits on the roadway to assist commercial vehicle operators. Stay out of the blind spots of large trucks, signal early, pass safely, don’t cut off large vehicles, and avoid sudden stops and tailgating.

Operation SafeDRIVE is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s “Our Roads, Our Safety” campaign. Learn more by visiting the U.S. DOT’s website.
