Aggressive drivers targeted today

Beginning today, Idaho State Police officers and Coeur d'Alene Police are targeting drivers who drive aggressively in and around commercial vehicles on highways in northern Idaho.

Officers will be stopping drivers who speed, tailgate and cut off other vehicles. This is part of a statewide campaign to save lives and help make all drivers aware of the dangers of aggressive driving.

The Targeting Aggressive Cars and Trucks Program (TACT), targets both commercial and noncommercial vehicle drivers who drive aggressively or unsafely. It was developed in cooperation with other safety agencies and the trucking industry and has already reduced the number of commercial vehicle crashes in some areas by more than 30 percent.
