Logistics Operation Safe Driver Week Begins July 12: Ticket Penalties Last Long After the Week Ends
From July 12 to 18, 2026, the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) runs Operation Safe Driver Week across the US, Canada, and Mexico, focusing on reckless, careless, or dangerous driving. During last year's campaign, officers stopped 8,739 vehicles, issuing 2,504 citations and 3,575 warnings. Speeding was the top infraction (917 citations), while the official focus area produced only 20 citations. The enforcement data underscores that routine violations, not just reckless driving, generate citations and long-term CSA score impacts.
