THSO to launch distracted driving initiative statewide on Nov. 13

The Tennessee Highway Safety Office is joining various state and local partners on Nov. 13 to launch Operation Incognito, a distracted driving enforcement initiative, according to a news release.

The initiative is part of the state's larger initiative against distracted driving, known as "the bus tour."

The goal of the operation is to educate the public on the dangers of distracted driving and emphasize Tennessee's "move over law." Five press events have been scheduled statewide on Nov. 13 to discuss the campaign, the release states.

"The primary focus of Operation Incognito is to reduce distracted driving, serious injury traffic crashes, and fatalities," said THSO Director Vic Donoho. "A secondary focus will include saturations of high-risk construction and utility maintenance zones to increase awareness. Drivers are encouraged to protect roadway workers by staying focused and alert at all times."
