I need to send it to the lab for testing to see how fresh it is. Please exit the vehicle and place your hands on the hood.”….
Kentucky State Police Begin Operation R.A.I.D.
“Not only just texting, but any distracting drivers. This includes eating and drinking. We are going to be out looking for those people. You’re going to see a major force when it comes time for St. Patrick’s Day weekend and holiday weekends,” said Trooper Biven, Kentucky State Police.
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) — To increase driving safety, Kentucky State Police are starting a new “safe driving program”.
Operation R.A.I.D (Remove aggressive, Impaired. and Distracted Drivers from Kentucky Roadways) will remain active for one year.
Law enforcement will be more visible and the number of check points will increase.
This program will allow each post to identify target areas.
“Not only just texting, but any distracting drivers. This includes eating and drinking. We are going to be out looking for those people. You’re going to see a major force when it comes time for St. Patrick’s Day weekend and holiday weekends,” said Trooper Biven, Kentucky State Police.
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’ studies show two-thirds of all fatal crashes link to aggressive drivers.
