To help ensure the safety of all motorists during the Memorial Day weekend, Indiana State Police will be participating in Operation C.A.R.E. (Combined Accident Reduction Effort) and SWDUIEP (Statewide Driving Under the Influence Project). Troopers will be specifically looking for drivers who speed, follow too closely, make unsafe lane changes, drive aggressively and fail to buckle up or to properly restrain children. Troopers will also be aggressively looking for impaired drivers.

Indiana State Police will also be participating in the Click it or Ticket enforcement campaign through May 31. The campaign will include not only the Indiana State Police, but more than 250 local law enforcement agencies throughout the state.

Indiana State Police encourage all motorists to observe the following safety tips:

• Make sure you’re well rested before traveling.

• Avoid tailgating. Remember the two-second rule

. • Obey posted speed limits and always use turn signals when turning and making lane changes.

• Make sure everyone is properly buckled up.

• Never drink and drive. If you’re going to consume alcohol, make sure you have a designated driver.

The Indiana State Police would like everyone to remember that driving comes with important responsibilities to yourself, to your passengers and to other drivers.
