Authorities cracking down on aggressive driving on I-75

While police are always on the lookout for aggressive drivers, they’ll be especially watchful Tuesday along a stretch of Interstate 75 in Oakland County.

From 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., members of the Southeast Oakland County Crash Investigation Team will zero-in on bad drivers in a special enforcement zone from Baldwin Road in Auburn Hills to 14 Mile in Troy.

The team of officers from Auburn Hills, Troy and Bloomfield Township will be watching for exhibitions of aggressive driving such as speeding, tailgating and improper lane changes.

The team was formed so that participating cities could share resources to investigate crashes that occur within their city/township limits. Since it was formed in 2010, the partnership reduces costs and has reduced the time it takes officers to clear crash sites.

The tab for Tuesday’s special enforcement effort is being underwritten by a $5,000 grant from the Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police.
