GEORGETOWN, KY (FOX19) - The Kentucky State Police Commercial Vehicle enforcement Division is distributing free 18” x 24” reflective decals statewide to kick off their Ticketing Aggressive Cars and Trucks (TACT) campaign, which runs from Nov. 17, 2011 through Sept. 30 2012.

Funded and administered through the Federal Motor Carriers Safety Administration, this national program is intended to target motorists driving recklessly around commercial trucks and truck drivers who violate traffic laws. Officers will look for aggressive driving behaviors such as following too close, unsafe lane changes, speeding and not leaving enough space when passing large trucks.

According to KSP Lt. Col. Jack Miniard, director of the CVE Division, the campaign combines enforcement and education in a effort to reduce commercial vehicle-related crashes. “Most people simply don’t understand the dangers of big-rigs,” says Miniard.
