AGGRESSIVE DRIVING CRACKDOWN

The New Jersey Director of Division of Highway Traffic Safety announced in Trenton on June 30, 2009 that the State of New Jersey has handed out grants to 75 law enforcement agencies in the state to be used during the month of July to crackdown on aggressive driving throughout the state. The announcement included the statistic that in the calendar year 2008 there were 22,118 crashes that were attributable to unsafe speed. The grants will be used by the agencies to target New Jersey drivers who speed, tailgate and pass improperly. Highway traffic tends to increase statewide during the summer months when individuals take vacations or spend days at the beach. Therefore, it is common for law enforcement agencies to focus on enforcing the law against aggressive drivers during these summer months. If you have been charged with a motor vehicle violation in New Jersey, you may face points on your license, steep fines, and possibly a license suspension.
