By Bay City News Service:
South San Francisco police cited 53 people Friday for offenses such as talking on a cellphone, texting while driving and running a red light as part of a crackdown on distracted driving, a police lieutenant said.
The citations, issued by a team of officers, are in addition to hundreds already issued this month for similar offenses in South San Francisco, according to Lt. Keith Wall.
Friday's sweep was conducted in honor of Distracted Driving Month, but Keith said drivers should remember it is "never okay to hold and use a cellular telephone while driving to talk, text, read messages or read other data."
