On July 26, 2002, the Highway Patrol will be conducting a speed reduction campaign on sections of US 220 and 64 in Randolph Counties to combat aggressive driving. This will be a continuation of the speed reduction campaigns on the interstate systems. Troopers from surrounding counties will converge on these interstates focusing on the true aggressive driver from 1:00 pm this afternoon until 10:00 this evening. The aggressive driver has been identified as those drivers who flagrantly violate the motor vehicle laws, including but not limited to: excessive speeding, following too closely, erratic lane changes, safe movement violations, and other forms of reckless endangerment. Aggressive drivers account for the majority of the traffic collisions that occur on the state roadways. Troopers will be using Camaros, and unmarked patrol vehicles for this campaign.
