The week of October 20th-26th law enforcement agencies will be teaming up with the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) for “Operation Safe Driver“. The goal is to “take aim at distracted driving and encourage driving safely around trucks”.
Here is why:
On October 24th at Cookeville High School the Tennessee Tennessee Trucking Foundation, with the support from the Tennessee Highway Patrol and the Tennessee Governor’s Highway Safety Office will be holding an event to help increase driver education and awareness about safe operations around commercial motor vehicles.
Last year the “Operation Safe Driver” campaign resulted in 40,000 commercial and passenger vehicle engagements at 1,245 locations throughout the U.S. and Canada. This year’s blitz is expected to be comparable to last year.
