State Police Issue 18K “Spring Safe” Tickets
New York State Police (Facebook)

The New York State Police issued a total of 18,375 tickets statewide during the ‘Spring Safe Driving’ enforcement. The special enforcement period began on April 9th and ran through April 14th.

During the campaign, State Police focused on speeding, aggressive driving, distracted driving (handheld devices), and the Move Over law.

Each year, unsafe speed is the number one contributing factor for fatal crashes, while driver inattention/distraction is a leading contributing factor to all motor vehicle crashes. The goal of the initiative is to reduce speed and distracted driving-related crashes and improve safe highway travel for all motorists.

Below is a sampling of the total tickets that were issued:

Speeding                    6,873

Distracted Driving      1,092

Move Over Law          337
