Lower Moreland Police Targeting Aggressive Drivers In Crackdown

Lower Moreland is one of 65 police departments across southeast Pennsylvania that will step up aggressive-driving enforcement as part of a statewide crackdown that starts today and runs through May 3.

Municipal police departments from Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery counties will target motorists exhibiting aggressive-driving behaviors such as running red lights, speeding and tailgating, according to PennDOT. (A full list of participating departments is below.)

The enforcement is part of the Pennsylvania Aggressive Driving Enforcement and Education Project and is funded by part of PennDOT’s investment of federal funds from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

If you encounter an aggressive driver, PennDOT offers these tips:

• Get out of their way and don't challenge them
• Stay relaxed, avoid eye contact and ignore rude gesture
• Don't block the passing lane if you are driving slower than most of the traffic.
