U Drive. U Text. U Pay. – Campaign Results
The Warrenville Police Department partnered with the Illinois Department of Transportation and law enforcement agencies statewide to target distracted driving in September.
Officers issued the following citations during the campaign:
• 15 citations for hands-free traffic violations
• 4 Operating Uninsured Motor Vehicle citations
• 1 Expired Registration citation
• 1 Operation of Motor Vehicle with Suspended Registration citation
• 1 Disobey Traffic Control Device citation
• 1 No Valid Driver’s License arrest
“Driver distraction is a persistent issue in Warrenville that often has life-altering consequences,” said Sgt. Highland. “Issuing a citation is a proven way to get motorists to pay attention or pay the price. This safety campaign may be over, but we will continue our efforts to stop motorists from engaging in this deadly behavior.”
This enforcement effort was funded with federal traffic safety funds administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
• Distracted driving is dangerous and illegal. Pay attention or pay the price.
