Tennessee’s third Distracted Driving Enforcement Bus Tour is set to take place in April.
Between April 2-April 5, local law enforcement agencies will partner with the Tennessee Highway Safety Office and the Tennessee Highway Patrol to crack down on distracted driving.
The state’s Drive to Zero mission, that is working to decrease the number of traffic fatalities, is supported by the bus tour.
Members of law enforcement will ride around in unmarked cars provided by the THP to look for traffic violations. They will notify ground units, who will make the traffic stop.
According to the Tennessee Integrated Traffic Analysis Network, 120 out of the more than 24,000 crashes in Tennessee last year where distracted driving was a contributing factor were fatal.
