CLAYSVILLE, PA -- Every summer, police are out in force, looking for drivers who are under the influence, impaired, speeding or just not wearing safety belts.
But Project TACT recognizes there is another kind of behavior just as deadly.
TACT stands for Ticketing Aggressive Cars and Trucks.
This could range from the driver of a compact car to a tractor trailer.
State Police say the driver could be having a fit of road rage or just not paying attention.
"We're looking for people who are following too closely, people who are making unsafe lane changes, cutting other people off in traffic and failing to yield the right of way to the vehicle that lawfully has it," says Captain Sheldon Epstein of the Pennsylvania State Police.
"The person who's drinking the Big Gulp, the person who's eating the hamburger, texting while they're driving, these are all careless factors that ultimately cause crashes as well," says Trooper Joseph Christy of the Pennsylvania State Police. "So during this program we're going to focus on the aggressive as well as the careless drivers."
The program will run all summer, from June through September.
They say violations could be serious and expensive.
State law enforcement agencies from Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia say getting the aggressive driver off the road is an important part of making the highways safe.
