State Information Home Main Laws Safety Belt Laws ... Sanctions for School and Construction Zones. Cell Phone Laws Checkpoint Laws Automated Enforcement Laws Low Speed Vehicle Laws ... Information by State Aggressive Driving Laws The term "aggressive driving" is a relatively new one, and covers a broad range of unsafe driver behavior. Speeding, tailgating, passing on the right, weaving in and out of traffic, failure to yield right of way, running red lights, cutting drivers off, or any combination of these types of behaviors are generally considered aggressive driving. Hand gestures, yelling, flashing high beams and honking horns also fall within the definition. Most states have enacted laws aimed at "reckless driving" which include a broad range of behaviors. However, some states are now beginning to recognize that certain of those driver behaviors are better defined as "aggressive." States are addressing this risky driver behavior in various ways. One way is through increased enforcement efforts. At least 24 states have established the "Smooth Operator" law enforcement program developed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which specifically targets aggressive driving. Another method of addressing the problem utilizes locally-based citizens' initiatives and coalitions to implement public information/education campaigns aimed at improving driver courtesy. Other methods of addressing the problem use technological advances such as photo radar (visit GHSA's site on

While major streets in larger cities and major inter-city roads are in fair to good condition, most other roads are in poor repair, badly lit, narrow, and often do not have marked lanes. Many roads, particularly in rural areas, are also used by pedestrians, animals, people on bicycles, and horse drawn carts that are extremely difficult to see, especially at night. Road travel can be particularly dangerous when roads are wet or covered with snow or ice. This is especially the case concerning mountain roads.

placeChannelNav('news'); Homeland Security and Highway Safety Not Mutually Exclusive By John V. Moulden, President National Commission Against Drunk Driving The mission of the National Commission Against Drunk Driving is to continue the efforts of the Presidential Commission On Drunken Driving to reduce impaired driving and its tragic consequences by uniting a broad-based coalition of public and private sector organizations and other concerned individuals who share this common purpose. So, how are we, the traffic safety community, and the nation doing? During the 1980s and early 1990s, pretty well - considering a nearly a 40 percent drop in alcohol- related highway deaths. Lately, however, not well at all - alcohol-related deaths have stagnated at 16,000 per year, with a 4 percent increase last year. What is needed to re-engage the fight against drunken driving to reduce these numbers and the horrific personal tragedies that they represent? The NCADD and most traffic safety professionals agree that we need to get back to basics. By that we mean focusing on where drunken driving occurs - in our local communities - and giving our local police, the courts, probation, treatment and driver licensing agencies the political permission/support and resources to do their jobs. Homeland security starts in our hometowns. We know how to reduce drunken driving, but we are not using the tools, knowledge and resources we already have. The basic "drunken driver control system" (from arrest to treatment) is broken or dysfunctional at the local level.

Mandate more behind-the-wheel driving experience, provide guidelines for selecting driver education courses, and increase parental involvement in teen driver training. Implement a graduated licensing system for novice drivers in all 50 states by the year 2000 and eliminate deficiencies in the licensing process that allow new drivers to become fully licensed without assuring they are ready to drive ("AAA Launches Major Campaign," Since September, in response to these steps, a handful of states have initiated a three-step licensing system for its youngest drivers, including Illinois, North Carolina, Connecticut, Florida, Michigan, Georgia, and Ohio ("AAA Launches Major Campaign,"

NH Highway Safety Agency Publication New Hampshire Bicycle Laws and Safety Guidelines sponsored by New Hampshire Highway Safety Agency Prevent Bicycle Accidents A Message for Parents A bicycle is not a toy. It's a vehicle! Males are five times more likely to be killed as bicyclists than females. More than half of all bicyclist deaths occur to school age youth (ages 5-17). Most bicyclist deaths result from bicycle-motor vehicle collisions. But injuries can happen anywhere - in parks, bike paths, and driveways and often do not involve motor vehicles. Head injuries are the most serious injury type and are the most common cause of deaths among bicyclists. The most severe injuries are those to the brain that cause permanent damage. Studies have proven that bicycle helmet use can significantly reduce head injuries. How can you help stop these tragedies? Buy your child an approved bike helmet. Purchase one that has a sticker inside certifying the helmet meets standards of the Snell Memorial Foundation and/or the American National Standards Institute (ANSIZ90.4). Let your child help pick out the helmet because it must be worn every time he/she rides. If you're a rider, buy one for yourself, too, and set a good example by wearing it. Also encourage your child's friends to wear helmets.
