NEWHALL, CALIFORNIA — CHP Newhall Division partnered with the Southern Division Commercial Unit on October 13 for a one-day commercial vehicle safety and compliance operation, issuing 279 citations and placing 28 vehicles and 13 drivers out of service.
Citations covered mechanical violations, improper lane use, speeding, and non-emergency stops on the freeway.
CHP used the operation to remind commercial drivers of key rules on California highways: never stop on the freeway unless required by an emergency or permitted by law; stay in your designated lane; obey posted speed limits and any commercial vehicle speed restrictions; plan routes ahead and take breaks only in legally permitted locations; and complete a pre-trip safety inspection before every trip.
