Law enforcement agencies throughout Nevada will be Joining Forces and focusing on distracted drivers through April 15.  

Nevada Highway Patrol will be working diligently to urge motorists to keep your eyes on the road and put away cell phones or other items that cause distractions.

Five seconds is the average time eyes are off the road while texting. When traveling at 55mph, that’s enough time to cover the length of a football field blindfolded.
