The Carson City Sheriff’s Office participation in the Joining Forces Distracted Drivers event held from April 1 to April 20th resulted in the following:
1 arrest for DUI, 21 citations issued for cell phone use, 1 citation for an individual cutting their hair while driving, 2 citations for failure to yield to a pedestrian, 89 for speed, 19 stop sign and traffic light violations. In addition, 41 citations were issued for other traffic related violations.
The Carson City Sheriff’s Office reminds you to “Keep your eyes on the road, and put away cell phones and other items that cause distractions.” When combined with speeding and driver inattention, you take a greater risk of being involved in an injury car crash.
