I pity the fool who gets caught distracted driving! Mr. T said it best.. Did you know a distracted driving ticket starts at around $50 for the first violation and each consecutive violation will cost the driver around $275/ticket. Hang up the phone and #JustDrive
A dangerous distraction is coming from inside your own car – your cell phone! Get set up when you get in your car, then #JustDrive. Your life is worth more than any call, text or playlist.
@tommerdahl Pre Covid the AVPD offered ride-a-longs to citizens in our communities. Due to Covid-19 our ride-a-long program is temporarily suspended. Once we can get back up and running our Citizens Academy is a great way to learn more about what we do and get a ride-a-long in!!
I'm logging on for the next hour to Tweet with you all about traffic safety and distracted driving! Send all of your traffic safety and distracted driving questions my way #JustDrive
@dustin_krapf Apple Valley officers along with officers from other Dakota County agencies often set up targeted traffic enforcement on Cedar to target these concerns. If you ever see another agency making traffic stops on Cedar that is what they are up to! #JustDrive
This April for Distracted Driving Awareness Month, take the National Safety Council #JustDrive pledge and commit to driving distraction-free: https://t.co/wSdlYuDn0b
@CasandraKreger The safety of children and all pedestrians is a top priority for the AVPD. If you have a specific area of concern you can always contact the AVPD and request extra patrol for speeders. #SlowDown#JustDrive
@tommerdahl While drinking coffee while driving is not illegal in and of itself, distracted driving is a ticketable offense. When trying to take a sip of coffee, tea, water, etc. it is best to make sure your vehicle is stopped to avoid becoming distracted. #JustDrive
@tommerdahl Cedar Ave/ 42 is one of the busiest intersections in Dakota County. With the help of other DC agencies the AVPD often is able to do targeted traffic details to conduct extra enforcement for these violations.
