The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) will be holding its annual Operation Safe Driver Week enforcement initiative from July 7th through the 13th, 2024. Law enforcement personnel throughout North America will be on the lookout for unsafe driving behaviors, such as speeding, distracted driving, following too closely, and impaired driving. Both personal and commercial vehicle drivers engaging in such behaviors will be pulled over and may receive a warning or citation.
Focus on Reckless, Careless, or Dangerous Driving
The focus area for this year’s Operation Safe Driver Week is reckless, careless, or dangerous driving. Reckless driving is defined as operating a vehicle in willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property. Careless or dangerous driving involves operating a vehicle without due care and attention or reasonable consideration for other motorists or people on the road.
According to CVSA, “Operation Safe Driver Week aims to improve the safety of our roadways through proactive driver safety outreach and education, and by addressing unsafe driving behaviors through responsive traffic enforcement when drivers are identified engaging in dangerous driving behaviors on our roadways.”
