Under the CR-3 Traffic Code, what constitutes "aggressive driving"?

The definition of "aggressive driving" under the CR-3 Traffic Code specifically encompasses behaviors that exhibit a disregard for safety and the rules of the road. This includes actions such as tailgating, which creates dangerous situations by following too closely to the vehicle in front, and excessive speeding, which increases the likelihood of an accident due to reduced reaction times and the inability to stop quickly. These behaviors exemplify aggressive driving because they not only endanger the driver but also put other road users at risk.

In contrast, while driving without proper insurance, engaging in road rage incidents, or driving while distracted by a mobile device can all pose serious issues and hazards on the road, they do not fall neatly into the category of aggressive driving as defined by the Traffic Code. Instead, they represent a broader range of unsafe driving practices and violations. Understanding the specific behaviors that classify as aggressive driving helps in recognizing and addressing this dangerous tendency on the road effectively.
