Idaho's Aggressive Driving Program to Combat Commercial Trucking Accidents

Aggressive driving is a problem in any state, but in Idaho, the police are taking specific action to combat it.  Specifically, police are seeking to curb aggressive driving related to commercial trucks.

Officers from the Idaho State Police and the Bingham County Sheriff's Office will ride along in a commercial truck on I-15 from Pocatello to Idaho Falls.   If they see someone tailgating, cutting in front of trucks, or driving aggressively, they will contact other officers to pull them over.

Troopers will give some warnings, but you could face a $75 following too closely ticket, or reckless driving citation.

The aggressive driving program will run throughout the rest of the summer.

If you or someone you know has been injured or killed as the result of an accident with either an aggressive driver or a commercial truck or 18-wheeler, please contact Jonathan Harris of SMSH at (800) 282-2122 or jharris@smslegal.com for a free evaluation of your case.
