Kentucky Vehicle Enforcement: TACT

This is going toward the "Ticketing Aggressive Cars and Trucks" campaign that will educate motorists with the need and importance of leaving more space on the roadways. This serves to crack down on aggressive drivers and highlight why it is important to take extra care when driving around large trucks. Larger moving trucks need time and space to change lanes and stop and having motorists aware of that then that could possible prevent future crashes. The law enforcement can not make drivers more aware but they can ticket you if they feel the need to do so. In return maybe when you have to continue to pay fines and go to court in the end it could result with the loss of your license. Planning this project are representatives from the Kentucky Justice and Public Safety Cabinet, Kentucky State Police, U.S. Department of Transportation, Louisville Metro Police Department, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, Boone County Sheriff’s Department, Trimarc, Artimis, FMSCA, Federal Highway Administration, Department of Transportation Safety, Kentucky Motor Transport Association and Kentucky Transportation Center at the University of Kentucky. This program, which is 80% federally funded, will place law enforcement officers in the listed corridors to aggressively enforce violations.
