If you’re driving distracted, the police are watching for you! During a recent crackdown, New Castle County police in unmarked vehicles surprised many drivers who were on their phone. Officers in unmarked vehicles spot someone on their phone, then they call an officer in a marked car to pull the motorist over. Some excuses were: I was changing the music, or I was looking for my ear piece. A ticket for distracted driving is costly, and fines escalate after multiple offenses. There are no excuses! We see it ALL the time. Just put the phone down. It’s not risk your life or someone else’s.
