Police still pounce on aggressive driving when it occurs in their presence, but to make this law work more forces are going to have to look for violators as a priority. Aggressive drivers often think of themselves as road warriors, skilled at outmaneuvering others they see as impediments. Actually, most of them are exploiting the caution and common sense of other drivers. Road warriors angrily ask police if they don t have anything better to do than harass them instead of arresting drug dealers and other criminals. But these drivers are potential killers.
