Aggressive driving in Chandler is a criminal traffic violation. There are essentially two main requirements of aggressive driving that a person could be charged under, and each requirement has a variety of possible volitions. Specifically, if an individual either exceeds a reasonable and prudent speed on the highway or exceeds a prescribed speed limit in designated areas (including business/ residential areas or school zones) and drives in a manner that causes an immediate hazard to another person or their property and violates two of the listed traffic violations in the same conduct—that person could be charged with aggressive driving. See the below graphic that illustrates how the charge of aggressive driving occurs.
