On Saturday, September 26,
Montgomery Police 2nd District Commander Falcinelli sent area residents
a community message about safety that included a caution about distracted
driving, which he said is one of the biggest offenses contributing to crashes.
To reduce collisions, Montgomery County Police are conducting cell phone
enforcement operations. Two already completed along River Road resulted in more
than fifty citations/warnings. Learn
more about Maryland’s laws that prohibit using handheld cell phones while
driving.
Falcinelli also shared the
information that a highly valued member of our community recently lost his life
in a tragic cycling crash. He reminded motorists to obey Maryland law giving
cyclists three feet of space when passing. Read
