Drivers are in Luck; Colorado State Patrol Announces Statewide Enforcement Day in Advance
The Colorado State Patrol is announcing their next Statewide Operation Day is set for Friday, October 13. Motorists who receive a citation can count themselves lucky as the operation’s purpose is to target the most serious and deadly driving behaviors on some of Colorado’s most dangerous roadways.
In 2022, Colorado hit a 41-year high with 754 deaths in traffic crashes. This coming Friday, the Colorado State Patrol will partner with local law enforcement across the state to educate the motoring public on violations that place them at the highest risk for serious injury or fatal crashes.
The Patrol will reveal the top contributing factors so far in 2023 for Colorado’s most serious traffic crashes and NHTSA will address these driving behaviors.
