TACT Campaign-Ticketing Aggressive Cars and Trucks in PA


In 2006, more than 5,000 people died on our nation’s highways in large truck crashes, with nearly 4,000 of those being the result of collisions between passenger vehicles and commercial motor vehicles. To help reduce crashes and fatalities in Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and the Pennsylvania State Police have partnered to unveil the Ticketing Aggressive Cars and Trucks (TACT) campaign.

During the month of October, extra State Troopers will be patrolling Commonwealth highways and will target unsafe or aggressive driving behaviors between cars and trucks. These behaviors may include, but are not limited to: unsafe lane changes, tailgating, failing to signal lane changes, failing to yield the right of way, speeding, and reckless driving.
