Traffic Partnership Plans Busy Month
By Staff Report-
Overtime traffic enforcement is funded through National Highway Traffic Safety Administration grants administered by the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI).
“The rules of the road are not only the law, they are designed to help everyone reach their destination safely and efficiently,” said Craig Allebach, Kosciusko County Traffic Safety Partnership grant administrator. “By warning drivers of aggressive driving enforcement, our aim is to make prevent unsafe driving and save lives.”
Failing to yield the right of way is one of the top causes of crashes that lead to injuries and deaths. Following too closely and unsafe lane movement violations are also among the top causes of crashes.
Young drivers, particularly young men, are more likely to be engaging in unsafe driving behaviors before a crash. As temperatures rise, and winter ice and snow recede from the roads, Hoosier drivers are tempted to increase their speeds and take more risks behind the wheel.
Statistics and more information are in the most recent crash fact book and dangerous driving fact sheet that ICJI publishes with the Indiana University Public Policy Institute at https://trafficsafety.iupui.edu.
