(April 10\, 2024) – The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) has announced July 7-13 as t he dates for this year’s Operation Safe Driver Week\, which is a safe-dr iving enforcement and outreach initiative aimed at improving driving behav iors through educational and traffic-enforcement strategies and driver int eractions with law enforcement.\n\n \;\n\nThroughout Operation Safe Dr iver Week\, law enforcement personnel in Canada\, Mexico and the U.S. will be on the lookout for commercial motor vehicle drivers and passenger vehi cle drivers engaging in unsafe driving behaviors\, such as speeding\, dist racted driving\, following too closely\, drunk or drugged driving\, etc. D rivers engaging in such behaviors will be pulled over by law enforcement a nd may be issued a warning or citation.\n\n \;\n\nThe focus area for t his year’s Operation Safe Driver Week is reckless\, careless or dangerou s driving. Any person who drives a vehicle in willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property is driving recklessly. Careless/dang erous driving is defined as operating a vehicle without due care and atten tion or reasonable consideration for other motorists or people on the road .\n\n \;\n\nAccording to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administr ation\, effective\, high-visibility communications and outreach are essent ial parts of successful transportation safety programs. However\, communic ations and outreach programs are unlikely to have an effect unless they ar e tied to vigorous enforcement. Operation Safe Driver Week aims to improve the safety of our roadways through proactive driver safety outreach and e ducation\, and by addressing unsafe driving behaviors through responsive t raffic enforcement when drivers are identified engaging in dangerous drivi ng behaviors on our roadways.\n\n \;\n\nOperation Safe Driver Week is part of CVSA’s Operation Safe Driver Program. The program offers resourc es for teen and new drivers and commercial motor vehicle drivers\, along w ith safe-driving public service announcement videos\, which are available for download and distribution. CVSA is also offering Operation Safe Driver Week postcards at no cost to its industry and enforcement members. The po stcards are available in English\, French and Spanish.\n\n \;\n\nState \, provincial\, territorial and local law enforcement jurisdictions\; the motor carrier industry\; the U.S. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administrat ion\; Transport Canada\; and Mexico’s Ministry of Infrastructure\, Commu nications and Transportation are all working together toward the same goal of reducing crashes\, injuries and fatalities on North America’s roadwa ys.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n LOCATION:https://www.cvsa.org/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Chicago X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Chicago BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20240310T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0600 TZOFFSETTO:-0500 TZNAME:CDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
