The Buffalo Grove Police Department (BGPD) announced that 36 citations were issued for hands-free law violations during April’s Distracted Driving Awareness Month enforcement campaign.
“We strongly enforce traffic laws for one reason–to save lives,” said Commander Tara Anderson. “This increased enforcement was implemented to help motorists avoid the often-deadly consequences of distracted driving with a simple reminder: Put the Phone Away or Pay. ”
BGPD collaborated with the Illinois State Police, local law enforcement, and highway safety partners for this enforcement effort.
The Illinois distracted driving campaign is funded with federal traffic safety funds administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT).
