WILDWOOD – Police officers in this city will be on a heightened state of alert in helping to curb distracted drivers.
As part of the Distracted Driving 2015 Crackdown, during the month of April, officers will undertake visible, targeted enforcement of drivers exhibiting distracted behaviors such as texting or talking on a handheld mobile device.
“Distracted driving has become a huge problem,” said Wildwood Chief of Police Robert Regalbuto. “It is never acceptable and it has proven to be extremely dangerous.” Regalbuto added that in 2013, in the state of New Jersey, driver inattention was listed as the leading contributor to vehicle fatalities, with 164 crashes resulting in death.
“We’re taking this year’s Division of Highway Traffic Safety’s initiative to heart,” said Regalbuto. “We’re hoping that by bringing an awareness of the detrimental effects of distracted driving we can help keep our residents and visitors to our city safe.”
