Delaware’s Office of Highway Safety has been asking local drivers to “Respect the Sign”. Respect the Sign is this year’s theme for the aggressive driving campaign. The office will be putting up posters, billboards, flyers and even ads online and over the radio to encourage drivers to follow the traffic signs every day.
According to the Office, nearly 40 percent of the overall fatal crashes that take place in Delaware are caused due to aggressive driving. Of all these crashes, nearly one-third are caused because drivers fail to yield to the right way. Last year, police handed out more than 3,300 citations for aggressive driving, and this includes: tailgating, speeding, and running stop signs or red lights.

The Delaware State Police as well as the Dover and Milford Police will be conducting local patrols on the lookout for aggressive drivers. The first patrols are already underway and will run up until March 12th. The next wave will commence on April 24th and will run up until May 7th.
