SB 799 - This act creates the offense of aggressive driving. Under this act a person commits the offense of aggressive driving if, during a single, continuous period of driving, the person: 1) commits a speeding violation plus commits two other traffic violations (failure to obey traffic signals; passing a vehicle on the right hand side of the road; tailgating; failing to yield the right of way; or brandishing a firearm) and 2) and the person's driving is an immediate hazard to another driver.

A person convicted of aggressive driving will be guilty of a Class A misdemeanor. A person convicted of the offense will also have to complete a traffic safety course concentrating on aggressive driving. The person's license will be suspended for 30 days for the first offense. A person convicted of a subsequent offense of aggressive driving with a two-year period shall have his or her driver's licensed revoked for a period of one year.
