Louisiana Roadcheck Expands Focus: Car Drivers Cited for Unsafe Behavior Near Trucks

Key Details Louisiana State Police participated in the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance's International Roadcheck from May 12-14, 2026. During the enforcement period, troopers targeted both commercial vehicle violations and unsafe driving by passenger vehicle operators around trucks. Why It Matters LSP expanded the traditional scope of Roadcheck inspections to address aggressive and speeding motorists in proximity to commercial vehicles. Troopers enforced Louisiana's Move Over Law while conducting roadside inspections of trucks and monitoring passenger vehicle behavior. What They Found Enforcement focused on several key violations including speeding by both commercial and passenger vehicles, aggressive driving behaviors around trucks, and Move Over Law infractions. Equipment violations on commercial vehicles were also documented during the inspection period. Bottom Line This enforcement approach recognizes that safety around commercial vehicles requires monitoring all road users. The multi-focus strategy helps protect truck drivers and the motoring public by addressing dangerous behaviors from both sides of the road.
