Take, “TWO Seconds for Safety!”
Take two-seconds to fasten your seat belt. Take
two deep breaths to become centered. Take two-seconds to be mindful of
how unacceptable driving behavior can affect your life and others.
Use the Colorado State Patrol’s “TWO Seconds for Safety” salute to
remind yourself and others to be civil on our highways. When confronted
by an aggressive driver, ignore them and get out of their way. Avoid eye
contact. Maintain a positive attitude when you drive!
Unacceptable aggressive driving behavior includes tailgating, weaving in and
out of traffic, passing on the right or the shoulder of the highway, cutting people
off, failure to allow others to merge or pass, obscene hand gestures, honking,
yelling or flashing lights, exceeding the speed limit, bumping or ramming
another vehicle or brandishing weapons.
Start Taking an Active Role – To report an aggressive driver, road hazards
or request assistance, you can use your cell phone to make a free call
directly to the Colorado State Patrol by dialing STAR CSP (*277).
