The State Highway Patrol concluded Operation Drive to Live after a week-long education and enforcement campaign.  The campaign was last week and was focused on promoting safe driving awareness to teenage drivers.  During Operation Drive to Live, Troopers enforced all traffic laws around the state's high schools and conducted traffic safety education programs. Troopers were actively looking for violations such as speeding, following too closely, careless and reckless driving and any violation of the motor vehicle laws that can result in serious injury or death. In addition, troopers presented over 125 traffic safety education programs to students across the state.  In 2015, the Highway Patrol investigated over 58,812 motor vehicle collisions involving drivers and passengers who were between the ages of 15 – 19. Of those collisions, 10,501 injuries were reported and 107 resulted in one or more fatalities.  Last week, the NC Highway Patrol were at 517 high schools.  Patrol Officers handed out:  Seatbelt Violations:  1,378; Speeding Violations:  4,189;  and nearly 6000 other traffic violations. Although the campaign has ended, troopers across the state will continue to educate and closely monitor teenage drivers with one goal in mind; to save lives.
