Last verified: April 2026 | Livingston County Supreme Court | NY Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1212 (official New York State Senate)
New York Vehicle and Traffic Law (VTL) § 1212 defines aggressive driving as operating a motor vehicle in a manner that unreasonably interferes with the free and proper use of the public highway or unreasonably endangers users of the public highway. This includes behaviors such as speeding, tailgating, weaving through traffic, and failing to yield. Unlike reckless driving, which requires a showing of intentional misconduct, aggressive driving can be proven by demonstrating a pattern of unsafe driving behavior. The statute is designed to target drivers who exhibit a disregard for the safety of others on the road. A conviction under this section can result in points on your driving record and increased insurance premiums.
For more information, review the NY VTL § 1212 (official New York State Senate) and the Livingston County Supreme Court website.
