(Pittsburgh, PA) PennDOT and the Moon Township Police Department recently hosted a media event to highlight the dangers surrounding aggressive and distracted driving. PennDOT partnered with the Moon Township Police Department to conduct an aggressive driving enforcement during the current wave which runs from March 18th to April 26th. One of the leading factors of highway crashes and fatalities in Pennsylvania is aggressive driving. Police will target drivers demonstrating unsafe behaviors such as careless driving, heavy truck violations, pedestrian safety, red light running, speeding, tailgating, and other aggressive driving actions during the enforcement. This event comes just days ahead of April’s National Distracted Driving Awareness Month. PennDOT and Moon Township Police representatives discussed the negative impacts of distracted driving and Paul Miller’s Law, which was signed into law on June 5th, 2024. The law was effective as a warning on June 5th, 2025 and fines will begin on June 5th, 2026.
