Kentucky Police Road Safety Campaign Targets Aggressive Drivers

September 9, 2020

Police are looking for aggressive drivers in Kentucky over the next few weeks.

Kentucky State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division launched the Ticketing Aggressive Cars and Trucks Campaign on Sept. 2. Officers will target drivers of passenger and commercial vehicles who exhibit dangerous behaviors such as improper lanes changes, following too closely and speeding, the agency said in a statement.

Aggressive driving is any willful action by a driver that places another person in danger without regard to safety, Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division Director Major Nathan Day said.

The best defense against an aggressive driver is a seat belt and patience, he said.

To avoid being an aggressive driver, police suggest leaving early for a destination, not tailgating and leaving extra space when passing.
