Police across Indiana will be on high alert from April 5-19 as part of a statewide traffic safety campaign targeting speeding and distracted driving. In 2024, these dangerous behaviors led to over 17,000 crashes and 230 deaths. The campaign will increase patrols to enforce Indiana’s hands-free driving law, which prohibits holding a mobile device while driving. Violators face fines up to $500 and license points. Officials urge drivers to slow down and stay focused, emphasizing that even a moment of distraction can have life-altering consequences.
