RED BANK: PAY ATTENTION WHILE DRIVING
Put down the cellphone and pay attention: that’s the message Red Bank police hope to get across to motorists as they conduct a special distracted-driving enforcement detail in April.
RED BANK: EYES ON THE ROAD, PLEASE
Put down the cellphone and pay attention: that’s the message to motorists that Red Bank police hope to underline this month as they conduct a special distracted-driving enforcement detail.
Why? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that in 2014, 3,179 people were killed and an estimated 431,000 people were injured in motor vehicle crashes involving a distracted driver.
RED BANK COPS TO TARGET CELL SCOFFLAWS
Red Bank police will be going after violators of a “largely disregarded” state law that bans driver use of cellphones without hands-free devices, according to a department announcement issued Monday morning.
The announcement says the crackdown will last a week and will entail road stops and checkpoints.
