KSP To Participate In National Operation Safe Driver Week

{Kentucky}...According to the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance, aggressive and unsafe drivers are primary factors in more deaths on our roadways than a 737 airplane crashing every other week. Beginning Sunday, Kentucky State Police will join in a national campaign to reduce the number of traffic fatalities resulting from aggressive and unsafe drivers during Operation Safe Driver week. During this time, law enforcement officers across the U.S. will respond vigorously to aggressive and unsafe drivers as well as step-up seat-belt enforcement. Operation Safe Driver focuses on avoiding distracted and aggressive driving and warns drivers to buckle-up, pay attention, slow down, avoid tailgating and stay out of blind spots.
