PRESS RELEASE



 

 

The Moscow Police Department will participate in an upcoming "Aggressive
Driving Mobilization". MPD, in conjunction with agencies statewide, will
focus efforts on education and awareness as they pertain to aggressive
driving. 

 

Idaho Transportation Department statistics show aggressive driving is
"the highest single contributing factor in both injury and fatal
crashes." 

 

The behaviors that define aggressive driving are: failure to yield the
right-of-way, stop sign violations, exceeding the posted speed, too fast
for conditions, reckless driving, following too close, and disregarding
traffic signals.

 

The goal of this project is to reduce motor vehicle crashes, injuries
and deaths caused by aggressive driving behaviors through enhanced law
enforcement activities, and through local media outreach conducted by
participating departments.  

 

The mobilization will be conducted from April 1st, 2010 to April 12th,
2010.
