Law enforcement: Pay attention or pay the price
The U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is launching a national high-visibility enforcement effort, April 1-8, 2024, to deter distracted driving. Arkansas law enforcement officers will work together to enforce texting and distracted-driving laws and remind drivers to Pay Attention or Pay the Price: Put the Phone Away or Pay. This effort comes during April, which is National Distracted Driving Awareness Month.
