excessive speeding

HB 2409 defines "aggressive driving" as committing multiple speeding violations (exceeding speed limits by 20+ mph in most areas or 35 mph near schools) plus two other dangerous driving acts (like unsafe lane changes or tailgating) during a single driving period. It classifies this as a class 1 misdemeanor, requiring offenders to complete approved traffic education and facing license suspensions (30 days for first offense, 1 year for repeat offenses within 24 months). The bill also specifies exact speed limits: 35 mph near schools, 20 mph over posted limits in business/residential areas (or 45 mph if no limit), and 20 mph over elsewhere. This directly affects drivers who repeatedly exceed speed limits in these ways, with penalties focused on education and license restrictions rather than solely fines.
