The Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office Is Looking For Aggressive Drivers


The Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office is joining forces with more than 90 law enforcement agencies to coordinate efforts to target aggressive drivers by participating in the Smooth Operator Program. They will be conducting “waves” of enforcement throughout the summer, the next wave being July 5 through 11.

Avoid being an Aggressive Driver.

Allow more time to get to your destination. It reduces stress automatically
Come to a full stop at red lights and stop signs. Never run yellow lights.
Let other drivers merge with you
Obey posted speed limits.
Don’t ever follow other drivers too closely.
Resist temptation to teach someone “a lesson”
Concentrate on driving, not on cell phones, stereo, passengers or other distractions.
Remember that you can’t control traffic, but you can control yourself driving and your emotions.

If you see an aggressive or dangerous driver Dial #77 on your cell phone or call the Sheriff’s Office directly.

I'll add one more tip, DIM YOUR HIGH BEAMS!!!!!! Every single day I see someone riding around with their high beams on with traffic around them. Does anyone around here pay attention when driving?

BTW the left lane is the passing lane not the drive 10 mph and refuse to get over lane. Why are these common courtesy driving techniques so hard to abide by around here?

Just stay home.
Some a hole will cut you off or slam on brakes in front of you and the cops will say you are an aggresive driver.
What idiots.
