CVSA's Safe Driver Week Scheduled for July 13-19

The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) has announced July 13-19 as this year’s Operation Safe Driver Week.  The focus of this year's enforcement initiative is driver behavior and reckless driving.  Law enforcement personnel from Canada, Mexico, and the U.S. will be looking for commercial drivers engaging in unsafe driving behaviors such as speeding, distracted driving, following too closely, drunk or drugged driving, etc.

According to CVSA, drivers' actions contribute to 94% of all traffic crashes, making it a huge focus of law enforcement across North America. During last year's Operation Safe Driver Week, law enforcement officers in Canada, Mexico and the U.S. pulled over 11,050 vehicles, issued 2,712 tickets/citations and 3,228 warnings to commercial motor vehicle and passenger vehicle drivers for various reckless/careless/dangerous driving infractions.
