Issue: Who should you call if you are witness to a reckless driver?

Who to call: 911

What they said: According to Sgt. Juan Lopez, public information officer for the Brownsville Police Department, reckless drivers should be reported to the police.

“We would like for (citizens) to contact us because we want the roadways to be as safe as possible for everyone,” Lopez said. “If you see somebody driving recklessly get the license if you can, a description of the occupants and we’ll relay it to officers on the street.”

For additional information about how to prevent reckless driving, visit UR the Spokesperson at www.urthespokesperson.com. A campaign against reckless driving is sponsored by the Ad Council and a coalition of state attorneys general. To raise awareness, the Ad Council has posted ads on billboards throughout the Rio Grande Valley.
