CVSA’s Operation Safe Driver Week on July 7-13
The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) announced July 7-13 as the dates for this year’s Operation Safe Driver Week. The safe driving enforcement and outreach initiative aims to improve driving behaviors through educational and traffic-enforcement strategies and driver interactions with law enforcement.
This year’s focus is reckless or dangerous driving.
Any person who drives a vehicle in willful or blanton disregard for the safety of persons or property is driving recklessly, according to a CVSA news release. Careless or dangerous driving is defined as operating a vehicle without due care and attention or reasonable consideration for other motorists or people on the road.
Law enforcement personnel in Canada, Mexico, and the U.S. will be on the lookout for commercial motor vehicle and passenger vehicle drivers engaging in unsafe driving behaviors, such as speeding, distracted driving, following too closely, and drunk or drugged driving. Law enforcement will pull over drivers engaging in such behaviors and may be issued a warning or citation.
