The Kendall County Sheriff’s Office issued nine speeding tickets and 22 distracted driving citations as part of its Distracted Driving Awareness enforcement campaign in April.

The Sheriff’s Office also issued one unlawful window tint citation, one no passing zone citation and one citation for driving without insurance.

“Distracted driving remains a serious problem on our roadways,” Kendall County Undersheriff Bobby Richardson said in a news release. “One moment of inattention can change lives forever. High-visibility enforcement is one way we remind drivers that safe driving requires their full attention. April may be over, but our message is not. The Kendall County Sheriff’s Office will continue enforcing distracted driving laws and urging motorists to put the phone away whenever they get behind the wheel.”

The Sheriff’s Office joined forces with the Illinois State Police, local law enforcement, and highway safety partners for this enforcement effort.

The Illinois distracted driving campaign was funded with federal traffic safety funds administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
