Next week, April 24 to 28, is the first-ever Illinois Distracted Driving Awareness Week sponsored by the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police (IALCP), AAA, and supported by the Illinois State Police, SafetyServe.com, the National Safety Council, and the Illinois Insurance Association.
We will join almost 300 law enforcement/fire agencies and supporters from the private sector throughout the state to work together during the week to educate motorists on all aspects of distracted driving. The campaign will also include the enforcement of applicable State distracted driving laws.
Translation: We will be out all next week looking for signs of distracted driving and enforcing applicable laws.
