25. Aggressive Driving Index And Overview
    Such acts are criminal offenses, and there are laws to deal with these violent crimes. Aggressive driving Study (AAA Foundation for traffic safety)  
    http://www.nysgtsc.state.ny.us/aggr-ndx.htm
    
    Extractions: WHAT IS AGGRESSIVE DRIVING? Aggressive driving can refer to any display of aggression by a driver. It is often used to describe more extreme acts of physical assault that result from disagreements between drivers. "Road Rage" is a term believed to be coined by the American media, originally to describe the most violent events. Although the media currently seem to refer to all aggressive driving as road rage, the New York State Police have pointed out that there is an important difference. "Road Rage" , such as using the vehicle as a weapon or physically assaulting a driver or their vehicle, is NOT aggressive driving. Such acts are criminal offenses, and there are laws to deal with these violent crimes. The New York State Police define an Aggressive Driver as one who: Operates a motor vehicle in a selfish, bold or pushy manner, without regard for the rights or safety of the other users of the streets and highways. AGGRESSIVE DRIVING SEEMS TO BE INCREASING Part of the problem may be the roads themselves. The roads are more crowded. The number of vehicle miles driven each year is up 35% in the past ten years, and there are more vehicles on the roads. Yet the number of miles of roadway has increased by only 1%. Also, people are busier. Time is at a premium, and road congestion causes frustration.

Preventative Maintenance Be Courteous: The practices of some riders are offensive to other motorists (e.g., weaving in and out of stalled traffic, riding on the shoulders). Being inconsiderate of other motorists creates a negative image for all riders and can cause crashes. Follow these rules: Drive Defensively: Be especially alert at intersections because approximately 70 percent of motorcycle-vehicle collisions occur there! Watch for vehicles that may unexpectedly turn in front of you or pull out from a side street or driveway. At intersections where vision is limited by shrubbery, parked vehicles, or buildings, slow down, check for traffic and be prepared to react quickly. Check the rearview mirrors before changing lanes or stopping. A quick stop without checking rear traffic may result in a rear-end crash. When changing lanes, use signals and make a visual check to assure that you can change lanes safely.

    Extractions: If your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level is 0.08 or higher (0.04 in a commercial vehicle) and you are in control of a moving or parked vehicle, you can be arrested for driving while intoxicated (DWI). If a law enforement officer can prove that alcohol caused you to commit driving errors, you can be convicted of DWI at lower alcohol concentrations. Governor Tim Pawlenty signed a bill into law decreasing the legal per se level for impaired driving to 0.08 on May 27, 2004. The law will become effective August 1, 2005. The law limits record-keeping for a first offense with a BAC level of 0.08 or more but less than 0.10, if no additional offenses occur, to be purged after a 10 year time period. It also requires collection of certain alcohol-related traffic stop and test results by every law enforcement agency, as well as a summary report to the legislature by the Department of Public Safety.

32. "Drugged Driving" Campaigners Open New Front With Federal Legislation
    The difference between per se drunk driving laws and the per se drugged safety Association, which represents state highway traffic safety agencies.  
    http://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle/329/driving.shtml
    
    Extractions: "Drugged Driving" Campaigners Open New Front with Federal Legislation A little more than a year ago, DRCNet reported on the opening of a campaign led by drug czar John Walters and backed by self-interested drug testing consultants to crack down on "drugged driving," or operating a motor vehicle while high ( http://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle/264/druggeddriving.shtml ). Walters, backed up by research and recommendations from the drug test consulting firm the WalshGroup ( http://www.walshgroup.org ), called on states to enact zero tolerance per se laws against drugged driving. Per se laws assume that a certain level of a drug in one's system is prima facie evidence that one is intoxicated. State drunk driving laws, where a blood alcohol level of 0.08% gets one an automatic drunk driving conviction, are examples of such laws. The difference between per se drunk driving laws and the per se drugged driving laws envisioned by Walters (and already enacted by eight states, according to the American Prosecutors Research Institute), is that the drugged driving laws will set the amount of drugs in one's system that would trigger a drugged driving conviction at zero. Under such laws, a person who smokes a joint Friday night could be pulled over and arrested for driving while intoxicated Monday morning, long after the high has worn off, but while the notoriously long-lasting cannabis metabolites linger. Now, Congress has joined the campaign with two bills introduced in the last two weeks, one that creates a model zero tolerance per se drugged driving law for the states, and one that would penalize the states for failing to implement such laws. On March 4, Rep. Jon Porter (R-NV) introduced H.R. 3907, which would take federal highway transportation dollars away from "states that do not enact laws to prohibit driving under the influence of an illegal drug." The bill would strip 1% of federal highway funds from states that do not enact such laws by 2006, with the percentage doubling each year up to a ceiling of 50%. And states must create mandatory minimum penalties for drugged driving to comply with the bill.

How many times have we heard this catchy tagline? Not enough, obviously, as the number of traffic fatalities among youth is seemingly on the rise. While the community mourns the senseless loss of young lives, these tragedies should trigger us to action so that these deaths will not be in vain. The time is now to strengthen our resolve to toughen Arizona’s traffic laws. With the growing number of fatalities in Southern Arizona involving young drivers, it is critical that we unite to pass strong graduated licensing and primary seatbelt laws. While I certainly recognize that a law is only as good as its enforcement, graduated licensing and primary seatbelt laws are saving many lives in those states that have passed them. Can we as a community just stand on the sidelines while watching more kids die, simply because Arizona’s traffic laws are not as strong as they could be? Change two laws, save countless lives. That is our responsibility, and I urge all Arizonans to rise up and join the crusade to make our state’s traffic laws among the toughest in the nation.

    Extractions: powered by Inktomi It should be recognized that vehicle collisions are rarely "accidents" that result from luck or chance. Vehicle collisions are more appropriately called incidents, and almost all traffic incidents may be attributed to human errors. Often, more than one error occurs in a traffic incident. Failing to yield the right-of-way is a primary factor in 27 percent of incidents in Palmdale. This includes attempting to enter a roadway or intersection without a sufficient gap between other cars. Turning without a sufficient gap in oncoming traffic and running red lights are also common errors. These errors often result in broadside incidents. These may be corrected by patience and carefully observing oncoming traffic.

People convicted of a DUI are subject to penalties and license suspension. After the suspension, the driver may be issued a conditional license requiring that the driver maintain a zero percent blood alcohol level for two years. After two years of complying with the conditional license, the driver can get a standard license. Stevens, R-Davis County.

    Extractions: Federal leadership in critical areas, such as impaired driving, has resulted in the rapid adoption of life-saving laws in states across the country. In 2003, we celebrated another milestone in federal leadership with the adoption of .08 percent BAC by all 50 states. Two other examples are the national 21 minimum drinking age and zero tolerance BAC laws for youth. Now, there is a critical need in the fight against drunk driving for uniform adoption of the federally mandated open container and repeat offender laws. Additionally, documented successes in reducing drunk driving have resulted from the enactment of high BAC laws; laws requiring mandatory BAC testing for those drivers killed in or drivers who are involved in, yet survive, a crash in which deaths occur; laws requiring sobriety checkpoints; and laws penalizing impaired drivers who have one or more children in the car.
