BELLEVILLE –
L
aw enforcement officers from Belleville will be cracking down on distracted drivers during Apr il as part of New Jersey’s UDrive. UText. UPay. enforcement campaign. Beginning April 1 and running through April 21, the high-visibility law enforcement initiative targets motorists who engage in dangerous, distracted driving behaviors such as talking on hand-held cell phones and sending text messages while driving. “Distracted driving i s a serious issue on our roadways,” said Gary Poedubicky, acting director of the New Jersey Di vision of High way Traffic Safety. “The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that in 2014 alone, 3,179 people were killed in distracted-driving crashes and an estimated 431,000 people were injured
31
i n motor-vehicle crashes involving a distracted driver.” Despite the fact that using a hand-held cell phone or texting while driving is illegal in New Jersey, the practice appears to be widespread . In a recent survey conducted by the FDU PublicMind Poll for the Division of Highway Traffic Safety, 67% of respondents said they “very often” see
people driving and ta l king on a hand-held cellphones. Some 42% of respondents said they “very often” see drivers texting. The campaign coincides with Distracted Driving Awareness Month. For more information, call the BPD’s Traffic Bureau Commander Lt. Frank Pignataro at 973-480-3348.
