Police crack down on aggressive driving

A statewide effort to crack down on aggressive driving is underway.

More than 235 police agencies will conduct the second targeted aggressive driving enforcement wave from March 21 to May 1.

Enforcement will focus on speeding, work zone safety violations and other unsafe driving behaviors, like driving too fast for conditions and following too closely.

Last year’s campaign saw 53,000 aggressive driving related citations, including more than 35,000 for speeding.

The Aggressive Driving Enforcement and Education Project is working to reduce the number of aggressive driving related crashes, injuries and deaths throughout the state.
