NY Lawmakers Propose Speed Limiters for Repeat Offenders After Fatal Crash

News summary

In the wake of a tragic Brooklyn crash that killed a mother and her two daughters, New York lawmakers are intensifying efforts to pass the 'Stop Super Speeders' bill, which would mandate speed-limiting devices for repeat reckless drivers. The legislation targets those who accumulate significant speeding or red light camera violations, requiring them to install intelligent speed assistance technology that prevents vehicles from exceeding the speed limit. Advocates argue that this technology could have prevented the recent tragedy, as the driver had a history of over 700 violations. Elected officials, including state Senator Andrew Gounardes and Assemblywoman Emily Gallagher, emphasize the need for accountability and action against chronic offenders. Similar legislation was recently enacted in Virginia, highlighting a growing movement for stricter traffic enforcement in the U.S. This renewed push underscores the urgent need for mechanisms to keep dangerous drivers off the roads and enhance public safety.
