6/17/03-Aggressive
drivers would be dealt with more harshly under a proposal
in the Legislature.
A bill introduced by Sen. Samuel “Buzz” Thomas III, D-Detroit, would
charge someone with aggressive driving if found breaking at least two traffic
laws.
A conviction of aggressive driving would carry a sentence up to 180 days in jail
or a fine up to $2,500, or both.
Under SB332, the offenses that would have to be violated to convict someone of
aggressive driving include running a red light, following too closely, failing
to yield right-of-way and illegal passing.
The bill is in the Senate Committee on Judiciary. For Senate bill status, call
(517) 373-2400.
