Reporting Aggressive Driving

Members of the public can report aggressive drivers by filling out and submitting an online Road Rage Reporting form. 

This form is NOT a replacement for 911. If you're involved in or witness an in-progress road rage incident, where your safety or the safety of others is at risk, you should ALWAYS call 911.

The purpose of this form is to provide follow-up communication with the registered owner of a vehicle involved in an aggressive driving incident. The APD Traffic Division will review all reports submitted and send a letter to the registered owner, describing the alleged aggressive driving incident and providing them with tips for safe driving.
