MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — Wisconsin State Patrol Troopers are climbing into semi-trucks next week to help spot risky drivers.
The State Patrol is partnering with the Wisconsin Motor Carriers Association for this year’s Trooper in a Truck campaign. All next week, troopers will ride along in commercial trucks, giving them a higher vantage point to spot dangerous driving behaviors including not wearing seat belts, texting behind the wheel or otherwise driving distracted.
It’s the sixth year of the effort which combines enforcement and education to promote safer roads statewide.
