Aggressive Driving Detail
The Ambler Borough Police Department will be conducting an Aggressive Driving Detail from now until the end of April 2023. During this detail, Officers will be monitoring traffic for signs of aggressive driving and speeding. We want to remind everyone that the speed limit is 25 mph no matter what road you are traveling on in Ambler Borough. If you’ve been driving for any length of time, you’ve probably encountered dangerous drivers. Screaming, vulgar language, and even violence has become more frequent on the road in the last few years.
Road Rage can be categorized as;
When a driver exhibits extreme aggression or anger with the intent of causing physical harm or property damage, this is referred to as road rage.
Road rage can manifest in the following forms:
- Rude and inflammatory gestures
- Profanity
- Ramming, sideswiping, or bumping other vehicles
- Harassing other drivers with brakes and headlights
- Forcing other cars off the road
Although aggressive driving can contribute to road rage, aggressive driving and road rage are not synonymous. Aggressive driving occurs when a person commits a series of moving traffic violations to endanger other people or property, such as:
- Tailgating
- Speeding in congested areas
- Cutting off other drivers
- Running stop signs and lights
- Weaving in traffic
- Changing lanes frequently
