Driving You Crazy: Does the Colorado State Patrol still send letters to reported bad drivers? Denver7Traffic, as always, comes through with the traffic knowledge - this time, regarding CSP's Star CSP aggressive driver program. Here's what he had to say:
Mary from Lakewood writes, “What’s driving you crazy? Hi Jayson, I remember a time that you could report bad driving to CSP or the Police that would result in a letter being sent to the perpetrator. If a perpetrator received 3 letters of reported bad driving the police would pay them a visit. Is this still happening and if so, how do you report a bad driver?”
CSP’s “Star CSP aggressive driver program” started July 1, 1998. Back then, the State Patrol partnered with several cellular companies to provide the special phone number, *277 or Star CSP, to allow anyone to report in real time, free of charge, any poor driving behavior on Colorado roadways. The State Patrol told me if someone sees an aggressive driver that is putting other motorists at risk, the aggressive driver should be avoided by getting out of the way, not making eye contact or giving any indication of disapproval of their driving behavior.
The issue, Trooper Lewis says, is “a registered owner is not always the driver, thus we cannot simply issue a citation to a vehicles owner based on phone calls, unless we have witnesses willing to go to court and testify, or the trooper observes the behavior happen."
