The MNPD’s initiative to interdict aggressive driving behaviors with the goal of preventing incidents of road rage on I-24, particularly the stretch between I-440 and the Rutherford County line, will be enhanced tomorrow and Saturday.
Aggressive Driving Unit officers working on that portion of I-24 Wednesday between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. made a total of 53 vehicle stops, including 29 for speeding, 4 for reckless driving, 5 for violation of the Hands Free law, 2 for violation of the Move Over Law, and 13 other violations.
Extra duty officers will supplement the efforts of the 4 members of the Aggressive Driving Unit on Friday and Saturday. The additional Saturday coverage will begin in the afternoon and extend later into the evening. MNPD Aviation will assist when not otherwise needed to support robbery or other criminal investigative efforts.
