Today, Wednesday, Nov. 1, law enforcement officers in Hardin County will begin keeping a keen eye on drivers, looking for all manor of violations during the month because six people have been killed on roads and highways here this year.
State highway patrol, sheriff's officers, Ada and Kenton police today will begin a Hardin County target enforcement of driving laws focusing on failure-to-yield, which caused 3 fatalities; seat-belt violations; and distracted driving, which occurs more now with texting.

Last week the Ada Icon published this plea to drive safely and is repeating it here, in case some readers missed it. Stay within the law, drive safe, be alert, and live another day. All law officers will be watching closely throughout the month.
