Lots of Citations For Distracted Drivers

Looks like some Washoe County drivers still need to slow down and focus on the road, based on the number of citations issued by the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office during a recent “Joining Forces” traffic safety campaign. From April 1st through April 15th, the Sheriff’s Office joined the Reno Police Department, Sparks Police Department and Nevada Highway Patrol for a high-intensity traffic enforcement campaign aimed at reducing distracted driving. Sheriff’s Office units assigned to this effort issued more than 675 citations, most citations were for cellphone use or speeding.
