What Does Driving Erratically Mean

If you do something erratically, you do it in an arbitrary or irregular way. Driving erratically is a good way to get pulled over by a traffic cop. A new bike rider might pedal erratically up and down the street, swerving and stopping suddenly.

What should you do if someone is driving erratically?

If you happen to see an erratic driver disrupting traffic, take note of the make, model, and color of the car, or the license plate number if possible, and phone it in to the local police department who will do their best to take the driver off of the road.

What do you do if you see someone driving recklessly?

If you see someone driving recklessly–whether it be from texting, drunk or drowsy driving, being overly aggressive, or otherwise careless driving–report it by calling 911. But only call if you feel it’s a dangerous situation. Remember, the 911 system is intended to render urgent assistance in true emergencies.
