ISP Cracks Down on Distracted Driving in The Month of April

ISP Cracks Down on Distracted Driving in The Month of April There is a good reason for Idaho s new hands-free law which went into effect in January. According to the Idaho Transportation Department, between 2015 and 2019 there were more than 25,000 distracted driving crashes in Idaho in which 237 people were killed. April is recognized as Distracted Driving Awareness Month which is why you may see police cracking down on this law more than ever before. In fact, Idaho patrol officers committed to a four-hour shift yesterday on April 8th specifically to enforce Idaho s new hands-free law targeting distracted drivers. This effort by The Idaho Transportation Department Office of Highway Safety is a part of a nationwide initiative called Connect to Disconnect.

State troopers hope extra patrols will reduce crashes that involve aggressive driving

Aggressive driving is a contributing factor in half of all crashes in Idaho. Aggressive driving was a factor in more than one-third of all fatality crashes last year. Troopers hope to reduce the number of those crashes by increasing patrols that look for aggressive drivers. “If you drive, you’ve seen aggressive driving. Sadly, many of us know someone who’s been in a crash due to aggressive driving,” said Lt. Michael Winans with ISP’s District 5 office in Pocatello. “Whether it’s speeding, red light running, or other dangerous behavior, if our enforcement efforts can educate and motivate drivers to avoid driving aggressively, we know lives can be saved.”
