CHENANGO – This week, police will be focusing their efforts on taking action against driver distractions.

Officers will be paying close attention to what motorists are doing behind the wheel and will be aggressively enforcing the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Laws prohibiting the use of cell phones while driving.

“If you are driving and speaking on your cell phone, the odds of you being involved in an accident are four times greater than if you were not using the cell phone,” said Sheriff Thomas Loughren.
