While tackling aggressive driving is the main focus, there is also emphasis on addressing and reducing the number of truck-involved crashes and fatalities. Aggressive driving may not always be a factor in crashes involving trucks but it can certainly increase the number incidences and amplify the tragic outcomes.<\/p>\n<h3>Enforcement, Education and Engineering &#8211; SPPD<\/h3>\n<p>The St. Petersburg Police Department (<a href=\"http:\/\/police.stpete.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SPPD<\/a>) in St. Petersburg, FL is one agency putting this program to work. \u201cWhere\u2019s Jockers?\u201d\u00a0 is the name of their TACT program, and it was created and initiated by Officer Mike Jockers. This TACT program works by establishing speeding check points in non-traditional, unmarked vehicles like lawn mowers and construction trucks and in places like park benches. Reports of drivers speeding or performing other aggressive driving maneuvers are relayed to uniformed law enforcement farther ahead. The program has received good media coverage contributing to its overall effectiveness.<\/p>\n<h2>Causes of Aggressive Driving<\/h2>\n<p>While there are no excuses that can justify aggressive driving, we can look into some of the reasons why a person would perform potentially dangerous maneuvers on the road.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Rushing:<\/strong> Every driver has, at one point or another, been in a rush to get to their destination. Even though there is no intention to drive aggressively, speeding, improper lane changes, and other maneuvers do classify as aggressive driving, which many drivers tend to do when they are in a hurry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Traffic:<\/strong> Being stuck in traffic or just generally on congested roadways can result in more drivers performing aggressive driving maneuvers like following too closely, ignoring traffic signs and signals, improperly passing and more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Young Drivers:<\/strong> Speeding, among other aggressive driver behaviors, are common in teenage and 20-something drivers. An over-confidence in their undeveloped driving experience and possibly general disregard for proper and safe driving can be to blame.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Tips for Dealing with an Aggressive Driver<\/h2>\n<p>If you find yourself in proximity of an aggressive driver, keep yourself safe by following these <a href=\"http:\/\/dmv.dc.gov\/service\/aggressive-driving\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tips from the DC DMV<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Do not react to an aggressive driver intentionally harassing you. Avoid eye contact, speeding, swerving, and breaking suddenly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Allow an aggressive driver to pass by either moving to another lane or pulling off to the side of the road. Keep a safe distance from them after letting them pass.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Do not try to pass or overtake an aggressive driver. Allow them to pass you and, if possible, find an alternate route.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>If the aggressive driver persists, pull over to a public area and contact the authorities to report the incident.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Keep from Being an Aggressive Driver<\/h2>\n<p>No one is perfect but when we are operating thousand pound machines, it is really important that we keep our emotions in check. Your attitude behind the wheel directly influences your driving behavior, so it is important to drive only when you are in a calm state. Since not all aggressive drivers are necessarily emotional (stressed, angry, etc), it\u2019s important to also keep the following in mind:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Make sure you <strong>know where you\u2019re going and give yourself ample time to get there<\/strong>. Rushing can lead to speeding and being lost can lead to things like improper lane changes, failure to obey traffic signs, and more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>If you\u2019re on a long trip,<\/strong> <strong>take several 10 minute breaks<\/strong>. In addition to experiencing drowsiness, you may find yourself less tolerant of\u00a0other drivers&#8217; behaviors if you&#8217;ve been behind the wheel long stretches without a break.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Try and <strong>avoid congested roadways when possible<\/strong>. Packed traffic\u00a0can increase your stress level. You may find an alternate route that is not only less congested but also more pleasant or convenient to navigate through.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Avoid distractions<\/strong> like using your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/distracted-driving-prevention\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cell phone<\/a>, loud music, and the chitchat of other passengers. These distractions may cause you to speed, perform improper lane changes, and more without you even being aware of it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you an aggressive driver?
