CHARLOTTE, N.C. Organized aggressive driving is a trend that the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department says isn’t anything new, but it’s a dangerous pattern that has increasingly become more of a problem both locally and nationally, too.
CMPD says they ve gotten reports of reckless driving, aggressive driving, burnouts, donuts, and street takeovers at five of their 13 patrol divisions.
The most recent noteworthy event happened over the weekend when I-77 was brought to a standstill after witnesses said a group of drivers was spotted doing donuts across the interstate, blocking traffic.
