The Costa Mesa Police Department (CMPD) says it’s putting the brakes on distracted drivers throughout April in conjunction with distracted driver’s awareness month.

“When you are driving, give the phone a rest,” Sgt. Dan Miles said in a statement.  “A driver’s number one focus should be on the road. Anything that distracts you from the task of driving, especially a phone, puts yourself and others at risk.”
