Reporting a Dangerous Driver
If you see someone driving in a reckless manner , including swerving , speeding , texting or behaving aggressively , you should call 911 .
Only call 911 if you feel the driver is posing a danger to other drivers , as 911 is intended for urgent situations . It should not be used for simple motor vehicle violations .
If you do call 911 :
Be sure to pull over first so you stay safe and do not become a danger to others .
Tell the operator your location , a description of the vehicle and their direction of travel .
Do not attempt to follow the car or take cell phone pictures as these actions could increase the hazards of the situation .
Be sure to exercise caution and maintain a safe following distance from the dangerous driver .
If you can safely record the license plate number , state of origin and vehicle make , model and color , this will be useful for police to locate the offender . Before the officer dispatched can take any action , he or she will need to observe a violation or receive a witness report as to a violation , which can be your 911 call .
