Bakersfield CHP issued 710 cell phone and texting citations The Bakersfield Area California Highway Patrol (CHP) conducted a month long enforcement and education campaign focusing on distracted driving. The month of April was designated as
National Distracted Driving Awareness Month. Within the month of April, local CHP officers issued 673 citations for using a hand-held cell phone. Another 37 citations were handed out for texting
while driving. That’s a total of 710 citations! Unfortunately, there are still a lot of motorists that don’t get the message about talking and texting while driving and just how danger-
ous it really is. There are those people that have changed their habits about driving distracted and there are those that believe the hazards don’t apply to them. The CHP will continue to
combat distracted driving to make our roadways a safer place to drive. In addition to the enforcement efforts, the local CHP area conducted 20 educational programs at various
schools and business with our Adult Distracted Driving and Impact Teen Driver programs. We encourage everyone to minimize distractions and focus on the road ahead, “It’s Not Worth It.”
Business and Services Directory “Laws regulating the licensing of contractors are important protections for you, the customer. These laws require that licensed contractors demonstrate a high degree of competence and observe high standards of financial and professional responsibility. Before you consider hiring a contractor, ask for the license number . When you deal with unlicensed contractors you give away many protections you may need.”
