The Michigan State Police have announced that they’ll be targeting truck drivers all summer as part of a special enforcement operation called “The Summer of Semi Safe D.”
MSP’s Truck Enforcement Campaign To Feature Emphasis Areas Of Focus
The commercial vehicle enforcement campaign kicks off on Monday, June 26, and will continue for the rest of the summer. The Summer of Semi Safe D campaign will also feature a number of days-long enforcement focus efforts.
Area of Focus Dates
S-Speed June 26-30
A- Awareness (intersections, construction zones, lane use) July 10-14
F- Fasten seat belts, Following too close July 24-28
E- Education Aug. 7-11
D- Distracted driving Aug. 21-25
MSP says that the campaign is designed reduce fatal crashes, noting that “special attention will be paid to semi-tractor trailers as they were involved in 72 percent of the 2016 deadly accidents involving a commercial motor vehicle.” The statistic cited does not take into consideration who was at fault in those crashes.
Really 72% percent of CMV accidents involved semi-tractor trailers.
How about MSP target the people that cause the accidents.

Probably should call it the summer of revenue instead. I don't know exactly what the different would be, since they pretty much target trucks anyway.
-
The police even make it public that they intend to profile a certain group on the highways and get by with it. I wonder what would happen if they made public that they intend to "profile" certain "races" or nationalities or a certain gender???

They have targeted truckers on I 69 at the state line for some time now. And I'm sure that crazy lady is still in that area

80 percent of car-truck crashes caused by car drivers, ATA report says
Old research. Maybe Michigan should chase the real cause, in addition to the split speed limit. -
10 under is ludicrous and dangerous. I don't care who you are. I've also held permits for that state wanting 50 mph for a load a couple inches over height. Yes...over HEIGHT.
HEY who knows maybe they'll finally rack up enough money to do something about those third world bombed out goat paths they call "roads"......or maybe the whole state will go bankrupt like Detroit did.BoostedTeg, bzinger, Gunner75 and 1 other person Thank this. -
72% of all COMMERCIAL VEHICLES. Wonder what the percentage of tractor trailers are in just the cmv classification. I'll bet if you compare miles driven its 99%.
Those that don't understand if the percentage of miles driven is greater than 72% then big trucks are safer than other cmvs. There is no comparison to the average 4 wheeler. -
Good ole Michigan ...it never changes there .
