Police target aggressive drivers
Police across Wisconsin have ramped up efforts to stop aggressive driving by writing more speeding tickets.
The strategy is appearing to work, as citations increased nearly 7% in 2015, to more than 172,000, the Wisconsin State Journal reported. Before then, speeding convictions had dropped 34.5% in eight years, to just more than 161,000 in 2014.
Police are so busy chasing aggressive drivers that there’s more wiggle room for mild speeders. Only 1.2% of drivers convicted of speeding were pulled over for traveling up to 9 mph over the speed limit, and only 27% were convicted of traveling up to 14 mph over.
