This press release is designed to inform the public of our commitment to ensuring safety and enforcing the laws in Maryland.<\/p>\n
Our message this week is road rage leads to serious consequences.\u00a0 Road rage is aggressive or angry behavior exhibited by a driver of a vehicle. These behaviors include rude and offensive gestures, verbal insults, physical threats or dangerous driving methods targeted toward another driver or a pedestrian in an effort to intimidate or release frustration.\u00a0 One study estimates that more than half of all drivers have experienced a surge of road rage at some point, although not all bang into the offender’s rear bumper, pull a pistol, or intentionally run you off the road.\u00a0 Still, tens of thousands of accidents happen each year because of aggressive driving, which is also a leading cause of death for young children.<\/p>\n
Our message is clear, allow plenty of time while commuting, slow down, drive respectfully and relax.\u00a0 Our family\u2019s lives depend on it.<\/p>\n
