Santa Monica : Rewards Await Safe Drivers
- Share via
Santa Monica Police Department’s Traffic Enforcement Unit will be issuing “citations” for good driving during the month of November.
“For obeying the law, a motorist who lets another car pass or stops so as to not clog intersections or goes out of their way to stop for a pedestrian at an unmarked intersection, our officers will issue a reward,” Police Sgt. Pat Armstrong said.
The tickets may be redeemed for free turkeys, donated by the John Rossi Youth Foundation in Santa Monica, a 22-year-old nonprofit organization dedicated to the welfare and betterment of children.
