Dallas police cracking down on aggressive drivers in an attempt to prevent road rage

Dallas police say they've written more than 300 tickets to aggressive drivers just this month.

[@Luzina0603]

Driving here in Texas has always been dangerous but has gotten even scarier in the last year. Give tickets to the idiots swerving in and out of traffic going 90, or the hazardous driver that stopped dead in the fast lane while everyone was going 70 just so he could go across 4 lanes to the off ramp he had already passed!! 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@Stephensouraski]

Slow drivers need to get out of the left lane. A guy was going 50 on a 70 today.

[@johnnieboy3458]

Yeah that holds up the left lane.

[@georgedelcid5611]

Since they couldn't file tickets last year, they are desperate this year

[@mrviq]

That's what I've been saying cause its way more speed traps now days

[@exiles_dot_tv]

Have you been on the highways lately ?! It's like Mad Max out there.

[@demetriusm8221]

Dallas-Fort Worth drivers are absolutely terrible.

[@CM-wh4wp]

It gets worse during summer when people have broken AC. People tail gate and honk 0.1 second after green light because they’re boiling at the stoplight. :( Just gotta let ‘em thru. Move over and don’t even engage in any way. Just not worth it.

[@M4NA5]

Going 20 below speed limit is equally dangerous as going 20 over. People need to learn how to drive here. Just match your speed to the traffic ffs.

[@mrviq]

Well said my friend. I wish they'd ticket the slow drivers, failure to signal, and people who don't know how to merge

[@johnnieboy3458]

Thank you! :)) There a always someone going like 40 on the freeway and you don't notice how slow their going until you run up on them.

[@cljoe35]

What about for the slow drivers???

[@richardkempton1894]

Nice job officers! Stay safe!

[@txsraappraiser]

woo hoo, go get em Dallas PD!!!!!

[@tbishop4961]

Is there a statute on "excessive honking"?🤔🙄

[@exiles_dot_tv]

There is actually. Your horn is only supposed to be used for emergency situations, honking because you're merely angry is a ticketable offense.

[@tbishop4961]

@@exiles_dot_tv the texas statute says "when necessary to insure safe operation". There are a multitude of valid excuses a driver can come up with

[@tbishop4961]

Usually people honk at other drivers who aren't paying attention. Not just because they have a bad day

[@exiles_dot_tv]

SLOW TF DOWN

[@maxboya]

Everyone crying about slow drivers yet I don’t see y’all paying for their gas 👀 🤦‍♂️

[@steveladner4346]

😂 they have murdered innocent people in their own homes....lol.. Call the 👮 if you really need help.. 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

[@joefergerson5243]

Get the bad drivers off the streets!!!!!!

[@tysonflowers1125]

Don't get me wrong it was lovely driving to work during the shot down. No accidents no one cutting you off and no selfish drivers just lovely. Now it's really just aggravating but still no reason to shoot people up.

[@DuNguyen-my4rq]

every where, all the time

[@aky115]

How about you get slow drivers out of the left lane

[@exiles_dot_tv]

Looks like we've got one of the road ragers here.

[@aky115]

@@exiles_dot_tv nope. Actually a commercial driver with over one million miles accident free. People going slow in the left lane causes a lot more problems than people would think. Causes a lot drivers to cut us off and weave around us which is incredibly dangerous. Please, continue assuming while you’re at it bud.

[@jtjtrs8806]

Hidden speed cameras are not combating road rage, their using that to fill their quota for the month

[@maxboya]

Yup

[@AggieLL]

If the goal is lowering the incidence of road rage, focus on the people causing traffic jams; the ones not using the left lane for passing only.
