What Is Aggressive Driving Under New York Law?
New York Vehicle and Traffic Law (VTL) § 1180-a defines aggressive driving as operating a motor vehicle in a manner that endangers persons or property by committing three or more specified traffic infractions — such as speeding, tailgating, or improper lane changes — within a single continuous sequence of driving. The statute targets road rage behaviors and reckless operation patterns that create substantial risk of collision. Monroe County courts apply this statute strictly, particularly along I-90 and I-390 corridors where high-speed incidents are common.

Insider Procedural Edge: Handling Your Aggressive Driving Case in Monroe County
In Monroe County, prosecutors often bundle multiple infractions into a single aggressive driving charge. The key is to challenge the underlying infractions individually. If any one of the three required infractions fails, the aggressive driving charge collapses.
- Obtain a copy of the police report and any video evidence from the arresting officer.
- Identify each alleged infraction and verify whether three separate violations occurred.
- File a motion to sever the infractions if they occurred in different locations or times.
- Request a hearing to challenge the sufficiency of evidence for each infraction.
- Negotiate with the prosecutor to dismiss one or more infractions, reducing the charge.
- If negotiation fails, proceed to trial and argue the infractions were not part of a single sequence.
In Monroe County, aggressive driving under NY VTL § 1180-a carries a maximum penalty of 30 days in jail and a $300 fine, plus 5 points on your driving record.
