Forms of Aggressive Truck Driving

Aggressive driving can take many different forms. Each involves ignoring the rules of the road in a way that puts the driver and others in danger. Our firm can investigate your case to determine the exact form of aggressive driving that occurred, why, and what it caused.

Truck driver aggressive driving can include:

• Breaking the speed limit

• Tailgating
• Blaring the horn without provocation

Why Do Truckers Drive Aggressively?

It is easy to say that a truck driver drove aggressively because they simply were not paying attention or weren’t being safe behind the wheel. However, in many cases, there is a more complicated reason for a truck driver’s decision to drive aggressively. Oftentimes, it can be discovered that the truck driver was only driving aggressively due to the pressures put on them by their employer. For example, a truck driver who breaks the speed limit intentionally might be trying to complete a delivery route on time because the trucking company hasn’t designated enough time to complete it while following all rules of the road.

Who is Liable for Reckless Truck Driving?

In many aggressive truck driving accident cases, we can file against the trucking company that employed the driver as a defendant. The liability for the accident can be placed on the employer if we determine that they pressured or encouraged the truck driver to behave dangerously behind the wheel. The same is true if we conclude that the trucking company didn’t do enough to ensure it was hiring qualified drivers who would always stay safe on the road.
