CA - CHP to crack down on motorcycle violations this weekend

OFF THE WIRE
VENTURA, Calif. - Starting Friday, the California Highway Patrol will crack down on all motorcycle violations in an effort to reduce fatal and injury crashes.
The increased enforcement will focus on the Pacific Coast Highway and run through Sunday, officials said.
Officers will be on the lookout for motorcycle violations and auto motorists impeding motorcyclists.
The CHP Coastal Division also plans to hold future enforcement events to increase awareness of motorcycle safety and sharing the road with motorcyclists.
Funding for the program is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
