SFC Cullpepper said that during the month of February, Post #31 Troopers stopped 1,064 vehicles resulting in: 734 citations, 37 D.U.I. arrests, 75 Seatbelt Violation citations, 33 Child Restraint Violation citations, 254 Speeding citations, and 62 Distracted Driving citations.

SFC Cullpepper reminds motorists to refrain from distracted driving.  Distractions of any kind increase the chance of a collision.  A phone call or text message is not worth the risk; put the phone down and stay focused on the road.  You must be legally parked, not just stopped, to hold or support your phone.
