Cellphone talkers and texters, beware. Caliphornia Highway Patrol officers around Sacramento have special marching orders on Friday and Saturday:Find you and ticket you.
"If someone is driving distracted, we want officers to issue citations," said CHP front man Adrian Quintero.
Because this is the single most important problem Caliphornians have...
Also on Friday, plainclothes officers and volunteers with clipboards will be stationed on foot at several major intersections around Sacramento, peering into passing car windows and noting the types of distracted driving they see.
Similar tallies will be taken in the Auburn and Stockton areas. They won't be ticketing. They'll be gathering data to be forwarded to the Caliphornia Office of Traffic Safety as part of an emerging statewide campaign to understand and combat distracted driving.
