CVSA Enforcement Week Set for Oct. 17-23
The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance has set Oct. 17-23 as Operation Safe Driver week, in which enforcement of road safety rules will be stepped up throughout North America.
The campaign is being organized by CVSA and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. CVSA is a coalition of commercial vehicle law enforcement agencies in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
The stepped-up enforcement for both commercial and passenger vehicles will include safety-belt checks, roadside commercial vehicle and driver safety inspections and educational and awareness programs about safe automobile operations around large trucks.
“Inattention, poor awareness of traffic conditions and unsafe maneuvers by drivers are leading causes of fatal crashes between passenger cars and commercial vehicles,” CVSA Executive Director Stephen Keppler said in a statement.
