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
The Tri-County Traffic Safety Partnership in DeKalb, LaGrange and Steuben counties is ramping up enforcement this spring to protect students going to and from school, a news release said.
Over the next couple of months, officers will be positioned along bus stops and routes watching for stop-arm violations and unsafe driving behavior.
The overtime patrols are funded by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration through the stateâs Stop Arm Violation Enforcement (SAVE) program, which was developed by the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute in 2019.
âDisregarding a school bus stop arm is a very dangerous and serious offense,â said Matt Kling of the Angola Police Department. âWe want students to arrive to school and return home safely, which is why weâre asking all motorists to drive cautiously around buses or face the consequences.â
