Aggressive Driving
Aggressive driving has become a serious problem on our roadways. What is aggressive driving? Most of us know it when we see it, but NHTSA, after discussions with law enforcement and the judiciary, defines aggressive driving as occurring when "an individual commits a combination of moving traffic offenses so as to endanger other persons or property." NHTSA provides guides, planners and information to law enforcement professionals and prosecutors to assist in the reduction of aggressive driving.
