Tennessee drivers caught “flipping the bird” or getting too close to another vehicle could be dealt with harshly under a proposal in the state House of Representatives.

Rep. Nathan Vaughn, D-Kingsport, is pushing legislation that would allow prosecution of such offenses as tailgating and making obscene gestures while driving.

Under HB1959, it would be an offense for a driver to do a variety of things “with the intent to harass, intimidate, injure or obstruct another person,” Vaughn wrote.

Aggressive driving would be a Class B misdemeanor, which carries a maximum penalty of six months in jail and a $500 fine, The Tennessean reported. If the driver intended to injure another person, the offense would be a Class A misdemeanor, which carries a maximum penalty of 11 months, 29 days in jail and a $2,500 fine.
