Don’t Hurry, Be Happy and Drive Safely

The Florida Highway patrol is taking part in a two-week enforcement campaign aimed at preventing aggressive driving.

The Ticketing Aggressive Cars and Trucks campaign runs through December 5th and is intended to raise awareness about the dangers of being too aggressive on roadways, especially when a large truck is involved.

For the next two weeks, FHP troopers across Florida will focus their efforts on drivers who are following too closely, making unsafe lane changes and speeding.

In addition to increased road patrols, FHP will be in the air to alert troopers on the ground of those vehicles engaging in unsafe driving behaviors.

Billboards with the message “Don’t Hurry, Be Happy and Drive Safely” are already in many parts of North and Central Florida to help convey a positive message about safe driving.

To make sure the highway patrol doesn’t stop you this holiday season, pass trucks with caution: Pass on the left side for maximum visibility and maintain a constant speed.

Don’t cut trucks off: Be sure to leave plenty of room when you pull in front of a truck.

Large trucks simply can’t stop as quickly as cars.

And most importantly, Don’t drive distracted: Anything that takes your full attention off of the road, even for a second, could be deadly.
