Aggressive Drivers in Arlington TX... New Tool...

 New Tool Reports Aggressive Drivers:

 
More than 50% of the crashes APD investigates involve some form of aggressive driving like speeding, unsafe lane changes or tailgating. The Department’s Traffic Division is always looking for aggressive drivers to help correct dangerous behaviors before they result in death or serious injury.
For several years, the Department has operated the non-emergency Road Rage Hotline at (817) 459-5389, and now launches a new online aggressive driver reporting tool where community members can submit a report via the APD website.
 
Click the link for more information:

Both the Road Rage hotline and new online reporting tool are for non-emergencies only!

Thank you!
