Our Mission Statement

Although a lot of people want to try to limit police departments regarding pursuits, we believe that you can't and shouldn't limit a law authority in their pursuit policy.  Afterall, it isn't the innocent that try to outrun Police, but the guilty.  Those individuals who are afraid that their crime will be found out if arrested.  Instead of trying to change the policies of individual Policy Departments regarding their pursuits, it is our mission to lobby Congress to introduce legislation that will change the laws to apply harsher penalities to those individuals convicted of causing injury or death to any Peace Officer, Fireman or 3rd party victim during the act of a police pursuit or road rage incident. 

We would like to see a change in the penal code which mandates a minimum of 3yrs with no early release for a first time offense that does not result in the injury or death of another.  25yrs to life with no possibility of parole for those convicted of causing bodily injuries, whether 1st time offense or not.  We would also like to see a change in the penal code which makes it a charge of Capital Murder if the act causes the death of another individual. 

All donations received will go directly to these efforts and to those victims directly affected.

 

What is Road Rage?

    When asked if I was familiar with the term “road rage”, I thought was this referring to a rare phenomenon. However, as I was quizzed about experiencing various driving scenarios, I soon realized that I was all too familiar with “road rage”. “You mean like the time that idiot cut me off in traffic; that made me so mad that I honked my horn and used a certain reflexive hand gesture?” “And then there was the time that…” He continued to wait patiently as my stories of traffic skirmishes unfolded. Like most people who experience first-hand the chaos of rushing around in traffic and dealing with aggreesive drivers, questions like this can trigger a pretty impassioned response.

Road rage, or aggressive driving. When I think of aggressive driving, I think of simple risk-taking, such as speeding, driving too slowly, tailgating, weaving recklessly through traffic, ignoring stop signs and red lights, and cutting off other drivers. However, these minor signs of aggression can progress to great extremes. For instance, in one city an unfriendly gesture turned to violence when a honk from 41-year-old Larry Remm Jr. caused 75-year-old J.C. King, who was blocking traffic, to follow Remm until he pulled off of the road, throw his bottle of prescription medication at him, and smash his knees with his ’92 Mercury. 

Those who research aggressive driving described it as any unfriendly or threatening actions, including forcing another driver from the road, cursing another driver, or, in more extreme instances, shooting at the car of another driver. In most of the literature, Road rage, or aggressive driving usually refers to an angry or impatient motorist who attempts to kill or injure another driver because of a traffic dispute.

Road rage is more pervasive than one can imagine. According to one survey, about 89 percent of 1,020 drivers said they saw first-hand examples of road rage within the last month, and 42 percent admitted to driving aggressively themselves during this time period.
