<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Bell MT","serif"">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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Bell MT","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Bell MT","serif"">Idaho Transportation Department statistics show aggressive driving is “the highest single contributing factor in both injury and fatal crashes.”
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Bell MT","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Bell MT","serif"">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Bell MT","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Bell MT","serif"">In addition to aggressive driving, inattention is a common factor in motor vehicle collisions. Inattention can lead to the same traffic violations as aggressive behaviors, such as speeding, failure
to yield, failure to stop, following too close, improper lane changes, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Bell MT","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Bell MT","serif"">Please provide yourself with enough travel time and minimize distractions while operating motor vehicles on the roadway. Be cognizant of your driving behaviors and help our citizens to safely
utilize our roadways. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Bell MT","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Bell MT","serif"">The goal of this project is to
</span><span style="font-family:"Bell MT","serif"">reduce motor vehicle crashes, injuries and deaths caused by aggressive driving behaviors through enhanced law enforcement activities and educational outreach through our local media.
