THE NEED FOR AN AGGRESSIVE DRIVING PROGRAM
8 hours class instruction from a State certified Instructor
What is Aggressive driving? We have all experienced that annoying car that seems to be in too big a hurry which is weaving in and out of traffic and tailgating us. Maybe you have been the other person? Many people seem polite and courteous at home or work, but they change dramatically when they get in their vehicle. Some drivers turn their vehicle into extension of their inner self and personality. We must accept that Aggressive driving has become one of the biggest problems on our roads today. Aggressive driving is a traffic offense or combination of offenses such as: Tailgating, Speeding, Driving slow, Improper lane positioning, Evasive lane changes, Drag racing, Exhibition driving, Failure to signal, Failure to yield right of way, Disregarding traffic controls, Impaired driving, Cell phone use, Aggressive horn use, Blocking Traffic, Careless driving, Road rage and Reckless driving highlighted by a controllable emotion.
The goal if this alternative sentencing program is to provide the offender with the proper information regarding their involvement in an aggressive driving incident. This course will also provide a different aspect for the driver and it will also signify the importance of self help! A driver should also be able to understand the importance of not being so aggressive while operating a motor vehicle; the offender will also learn that they are the only person whom can control their behavior out on the roadway. As a driver, a person sentenced to this program will be educated as an aggressive driver, and learn that they should make their own decisions and not give up control of their vehicle to other drivers or to random emotions! Aggressive drivers will also benefit with the ability to understand the consequences of poor driving decisions which can range from a traffic violation to an injury, a crash or even possibly a fatality for them or an innocent driver. Individuals sentenced to this program will also be observed behind the wheel in their own vehicle for an additional hour where driving tendencies and reactions will be documented..
