The Ticketing\u00a0Aggressive\u00a0Cars and\u00a0Trucks (TACT) Campaign targets drivers (both passenger car and commercial vehicle) who exhibit dangerous driving behaviors. These include improper lanes changes, following too closely, not leaving enough space to pass and excessive speed. Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division Director Major Nathan Day offered tips to drivers of both passenger cars and commercial trucks. \u201cAt the end of the day, all of us want to make it home safely to our families,\u201d said Day. \u201cSometimes it\u2019s as simple as being willing to be the driver who does the \u2018right thing\u2019 when others are displaying the wrong behavior.\u201d Day says the best defense against an aggressive driver is a seat belt and plenty of patience. \u201cYou can\u2019t control what other drivers are doing but you can safeguard yourself and your passengers by always buckling up,\u201d added Day. \u201cBe a courteous driver and don\u2019t fall into the category of an aggressive driver.\u201d Aggressive driving is defined as any behind-the-wheel behavior that places another person in danger through willful action without regard to safety. KSP provides the following tips to avoid being an aggressive driver: Allow more time to get to your destination. It reduces stress dramatically. Don\u2019t tailgate large trucks. If you can\u2019t see the truck driver\u2019s side view mirrors, then know that they can\u2019t see you. Leave extra space when passing each other. Understand that it take a large truck twice the amount of time to come to a stop than a regular passenger car does. In 2019, there were 6,147 crashes involving commercial trucks on Kentucky roadways resulting in 88 deaths. TACT enforcement and public information efforts are funded by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA)."}
