VIRGINIA — A significant increase in traffic is predicted for Memorial Day weekend across Virginia, and the state police want the public to make sure they drive with a "safety first" mindset.
The Virginia State Police issued a warning Thursday for motorists to obey all posted speed limits, wear their seatbelts and avoid distracted driving.
Beginning Friday, the state police will join law enforcement agencies across the country for Operation Crash Awareness Reduction Effort (C.A.R.E), a national program intended to reduce crashes, fatalities and injuries due to impaired driving, speed and failing to wear a seat belt.
