NBTPD will be conducting a targeted aggressive-driving enforcement wave through April 28, 2024.  The goal of targeted enforcement is to reduce the number of aggressive driving related crashes, injuries, and deaths on roadways throughout the state. Any aggressive driver stopped by police will receive a ticket.  Motorists exhibiting other unsafe behaviors such as driving too fast for conditions, following too closely, or making careless lane changes will also be cited.

Aggressive-driving factors include:

• Making illegal U-turn
• Improper/careless turning
• Turning from wrong lane
• Proceeding w/o clearance after stop
• Running stop sign
• Running red light
• Failure to respond to other traffic control device
• Tailgating
• Sudden slowing/stopping (brake-checking)
• Careless passing or lane change
• Passing in No Passing zone
• Merging without signaling
• Speeding
• Driving too fast for conditions
• Driver fleeing police

The enforcement is part of Pennsylvania’s Highway Safety Program and is funded by part of PennDOT’s investment of federal funds from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
