    Operation Safe Driver Week.
    July 11 to 17 2021.


    Operation Safe Driver

    Operation Safe Driver Week is a safe-driving awareness and outreach initiative aimed at improving the driving behaviors of passenger vehicle drivers and commercial motor vehicle drivers through educational and traffic enforcement strategies and interactions with law enforcement.

    2021 Operation Safe Driver Week

    This year’s Operation Safe Driver Week is scheduled forJuly 11-17. Throughout that week, law enforcement personnel will be on the lookout for commercial motor vehicle drivers and passenger vehicle drivers engaging in risky driving. Identified unsafe drivers will be pulled over and issued a citation or warning. View the full press release.

    Data shows that traffic stops and interactions with law enforcement help reduce problematic driving behaviors. By making contact with drivers during Operation Safe Driver Week, law enforcement personnel aim to make our roadways safer by targeting high-risk driving behaviors.

    The Focus on Speeding

    This year, CVSA chose speeding as its focus during Operation Safe Driver Week because despite a drop in roadway travel last year due to the pandemic, nationally, traffic fatalities increased.

    • Speeding has been a factor in more than a quarter of crash deaths since 2008. (Source)
    • Speeding of any kind was the most frequent driver-related crash factor for drivers of commercial motor vehicles and passenger vehicles. (Source)
    • Speeding was a factor in 26% of all traffic fatalities in 2018, killing 9,378 people or an average of more than 25 people per day. (Source)
    Other Problematic Driving Behaviors

    In addition to speeding, law enforcement personnel will be tracking other dangerous driver behaviors throughout Operation Safe Driver Week, such as reckless or aggressive driving, distracted driving, following too closely, improper lane change, failure to obey traffic control devices, failure to use a seat belt, evidence of drunk or drugged driving, etc.

    • Distracted driving claimed 3,142 lives in 2019. (Source)
    • Of the 22,215 passenger vehicle occupants killed in 2019, 47% were not wearing seat belts. Seat belts saved an estimated 14,955 lives and could have saved an additional 2,549 people if they had been wearing seat belts, in 2017 alone. (Source)
    • Every day, about 28 people in the United States die in drunk-driving crashes — that’s one person every 52 minutes. In 2019, 10,142 people lost their lives due to drunk driving. (Source)

    Wasn’t that Saturday..?
    Sunday begins a new work week.

    The Apostle appears to have used this common nomenclature from the fact that Jesus had said he was "Lord of the Sabbath" and that Isaiah called the Sabbath the "Lord's Holy Day" then this usage implies that in the Lord's Day, the Seventh-day Sabbath (i.e. Saturday) had been transferred to the First Day of the week.
    We should observe the seventh day of the week (Saturday), from even to even, as the Sabbath of the Lord our God. Evening is at sunset when day ends and another day begins. No other day has ever been sanctified as the day of rest. The Sabbath Day begins at sundown on Friday and ends at sundown on Saturday.

    Sleeping away, my dream gets highjacked, someone’s knocking on the door. Get up look, no one’s there. It too was a dream. Dog would have barked had it really happened. Oh well wasn’t a very good dream anyway. McDonald’s coffee time.

    Considering there is no calendar associated with any religious texts the "sabbath" is whatever day religious leaders want it to be. Also, knowing the planet is older than any religious text comes close to, and that many stories found in what became Judaic texts are at least partial plagiarism of older stories then the concept of knowing an exact day of creation/rest is ludicrous.

    That's not thinking outside the box, that's realizing there is no box.
