Erie Police On The Lookout For Aggressive Drivers
Aggressive Driving is the primary cause of highway car accidents and fatal wrecks, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT). In light of this fact, Erie police are going to be cracking down on aggressive drivers for the next month or so. Anyone suspected of aggressive behavior will be stopped and questioned, and of course, will be cited for any traffic violations.
What Constitutes Aggressive Driving?
At first thought, most people think an aggressive driver would be yelling, antagonizing other drivers, and threatening them. This is true, but there are other ways people can drive aggressively. Think of an impatient driver who acts like they're the only one on the road. Someone who has no time for rules and safety. This is an aggressive driver. Here are some common aggressive driving behaviors:
- Speeding
- Tailgating Slower Drivers
- Flashing Headlights or Holding High Beams On
- Running Red Lights or Accelerating Through a "late yellow"
- Weaving Through Traffic
