The Delaware Office of Highway Safety is taking aim at aggressive driving in a campaign running from Oct. 23 until Nov. 3.
Law enforcement agencies participating in the enforcement include Delaware State Police in all three counties, along with the Georgetown, Milford, Newark, New Castle County, Seaford, and Wilmington police departments. So far in 2012, 32 of the 83 fatal crashes (39 percent ) have been linked to aggressive driving.
Police are being asked to focus on the top four aggressive driving violations in Delaware with the primary focus on drivers who fail to grant the right of way to other drivers.
Failure to grant the right of way violations include drivers who turn left in front of another vehicle, pull out in front of other vehicles at stop signs and fail to merge safely. It is also the primary contributing factor in aggressive driving related fatal and injury crashes.
Motorists can be charged with aggressive driving is when an officer observes a driver committing three or more traffic violations in a single incident such as speeding, failing to yield right of way, tailgating, making improper lane changes, running red lights or stop signs.
