Lafayette Police Conducting No Texting And Driving Campaign

The Lafayette Police Department has announced that they will be looking for drivers within the city limits that are texting and driving.

Police say the campaign will be conducted throughout the month of July 2017. There will be ZERO TOLERANCE for those drivers found to be reading, texting, or writing on their mobile device. And yes, that includes surfing social media sites.

So, you've been warned. Put the phones down and drive safely. Remember, a phone call or text message can wait---Don't put yourself or others in harms way.

The mission statement for this campaign is simple: "Stop the texts, stop the wrecks."
