ALBION â With Distracted Driving Awareness Month underway, the Noble County Traffic Safety Partnership is joining law enforcement agencies across the state and nation for a one-day enforcement campaign called Connect 2 Disconnect.
Today, officers will be conducting high-visibility patrols to remind motorists about the dangers and consequences of texting and distracted driving.
Connect 2 Disconnect is funded by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration through the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute.
âEveryone knows itâs dangerous to text and drive, yet we still see people on their phones behind the wheel every day,â said Noble County Sheriffâs Department Sgt. Carey Coney. âTaking your eyes off the road, even if itâs just for a couple of seconds, could end in disaster. If we all do our part, we can put a stop to distracted driving and prevent these senseless tragedies from occurring.â
