Reckless, careless, and dangerous driving to be the focus of weeklong blitz in U.S., Canada, and Mexico
The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) is gearing up for a driver-focused enforcement operation taking place in July.
Operation Safe Driver Week 2025 will take place July 13-19 in Canada, Mexico and the U.S.
During Operation Safe Driver Week, law enforcement agencies will patrol both commercial vehicle and passenger vehicle drivers looking for unsafe behaviors, including speeding, distracted driving, following too closely, and drunk or drugged driving.
Drivers caught performing unsafe and illegal behaviors face a citation or a warning.
The area of emphasis for Operation Safe Driver Week 2025 will be reckless, careless or dangerous driving.
Reckless driving is defined as operating a vehicle with willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property.
Careless/dangerous driving is defined as operating a vehicle without due care and attention or reasonable consideration for other motorists or people on the road, the CVSA says.
During Operation Safe Driver Week 2024, law enforcement officers in Canada and the U.S. pulled over 11,050 vehicles and issued 2,712 tickets/citations and 3,228 warnings to commercial motor vehicle and passenger vehicle drivers for various unsafe driving infractions.
See below for other planned CVSA enforcement operations for 2025.
International Roadcheck
- International Roadcheck is scheduled for May 13 — 15, 2025 in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada.
- International Roadcheck is the largest targeted enforcement program on commercial motor vehicles in the world, with nearly 15 trucks and motorcoaches inspected, on average, every minute across North America during a 72-hour period.
Brake Safety Campaigns
CVSA’s Operation Airbrake Program will hold two annual brake safety campaigns in 2025:
- Brake Safety Week is scheduled for August 24 — 30, 2025 in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada.
- There will be an unannounced one-day brake safety enforcement initiative, which may be held at any time.
- During both the announced and unannounced brake safety enforcement campaigns, commercial motor vehicle inspectors conduct brake system inspections (primarily Level IV Inspections) on large trucks and buses throughout North America to identify brake-system violations.
