CARY POLICE GET TOUGHER ON AGGRESSIVE DRIVING

CARY , NC – The Town of Cary Police Department has kicked off an effort to curb aggressive driving such as weaving in and out of traffic, flashing headlights, following too closely, and running stop signs and red lights.  Aggressive drivers in Cary can expect more police stops, more unmarked vehicles, and more frequent ticketing.  Motorists being endangered by an aggressive driver should call 911 immediately.  Witnesses of aggressive driving in Cary are urged to report violations to the Cary Police Department’s Traffic Hotline at (919) 319-4521.  

“It’s not just rude, it’s dangerous—even deadly,” said Sergeant Joe Clifton, supervisor of the police department’s traffic safety unit.  According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, more than 13,000 people have been injured or killed since 1990 in crashes caused by aggressive driving.  

“ North Carolina is known for being polite and hospitable, and we need that kind of behavior to make its way back to our roads,” said Clifton .
