mcso joining forces for distracted driving
Law enforcement agencies statewide will be Joining Forces and focusing on distracted drivers Jan. 8-22, 2018.
Mineral County Sheriff’s Office will be working diligently to urge motorists to keep your eyes on the road and put away cell phones or other items that cause distractions.
Distracted driving is any activity that diverts attention from driving, including talking or texting on your phone, eating and drinking, talking to people in your vehicle, fiddling with the stereo, entertainment or navigation system—anything that takes your attention away from the task of safe driving. You cannot drive safely unless the task of driving has your full attention. Any non-driving activity you engage in is a potential distraction and increases your risk of crashing.
