Lower Moreland Township Police Department will be participating in statewide aggressive-driving coordinated enforcement from March 18 to April 25, 2022.  

The goal of targeted enforcement is to reduce the number of aggressive driving related crashes, injuries, and deaths on roadways throughout the state. Motorists exhibiting other unsafe behaviors such as driving too fast for conditions, following too closely, or making careless lane changes will also be cited.

Aggressive-driving factors include:

• Making illegal U-turn
• Improper/careless turning
• Turning from wrong lane
• Proceeding w/o clearance after stop
• Running stop sign
• Running red light
• Failure to respond to other traffic control device
• Tailgating
• Sudden slowing/stopping
• Careless passing or lane change
• Passing in no passing zone
• Making improper entrance to highway
• Making improper exit from highway
• Speeding
• Driving too fast for conditions
• Driver fleeing police

If you encounter an aggressive driver, put your own safety first:

• Get out of their way and stay as far away as possible.
• Do not engage or challenge the driver in any way.
• Stay relaxed, avoid eye contact, and ignore rude gestures.
• Don't block the passing lane if you are driving slower than most of the traffic.
• Do not attempt to follow or pursue the vehicle.
• You or a passenger may call the police. But, if you use a cell phone, pull over to a safe location. If you can, note the license plate and a description of the car.
