The Henderson Police Department is making a focused effort to crack down on motorcyclists who are slacking on safety rules and regulations.

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation there were over 4,400 motorcyclists killed in accidents in 2009. Last year there were 40 fatalities in motorcycle accidents on Nevada’s roads. About 4 months into 2012, there have been 6 fatal accidents.

Officers will be taking to the streets looking to clamp down on any dangerous or unsafe behavior. Cyclists ignoring the rules of the road or failing to wear helmets will be issued citations.

Beyond unsafe motorcyclists, police are also looking to rid the roads of distracted driving. There are more than 3,500 distracted driving accidents in Nevada each year, and there have been 71 deaths since 2005 as a result.

Drivers on their cell phones will be hammered for their crime, and a failure to properly obey the rules of the road will not be met with kindness. If you find yourself on a Nevada road, pay attention and put that phone away.
