From April 3rd of 2023 to April 9th of 2023, the North Platte Police Department, in partnership with the Nebraska Department of Highway Safety, will be participating in in the “U Drive U Text U Pay” Law Enforcement Mobilization. Law Enforcement efforts will focus on distracted drivers.
A recent study shows that about 10% of all drivers are distracted. Distracted driving is one of the major causes of traffic accidents. Extra Police Officers will be on the streets looking for traffic violations, and focusing on those involving distracted driving.
