Distracted? Watch out. We’re all family!
Monterey County cops are alert. And Salinas police officers have written more than 250 citations for distracted drivers thus far in 2013, as reported 4/14/13 in the Salinas Californian, “Cops on lookout for distracted drivers.” Thank you, Salinas PD!
April 16th is national Zero Tolerance Day, but in Monterey County, we honor that every day. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!
Distracted driving–or distracted biking or walking!–too often causes injury or death.
Heads-up, everybody: Someone’s beloved family member is on that bike. You may even know them….
Thank you to the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition for this public service announcement. More about LACBC’s Precaución a tu familia.
