"The cutting-edge safety technology, which relies on GPS and automatically adjusts to within 5 mph of the speed limit on local streets and highways even if the driver hits the pedal, is the core of Grounardes's Stop Super Speeders Act (S.4045C/A.2299C). Drivers with 16 speed camera tickets are twice as likely to be involved in a crash resulting in serious injury or death. The law would require the speed limiter technology to be installed in the vehicles of repeat offenders who have received 16 or more speed camera tickets in a year, or who accumulate 11 or more points on their license within 18 months."
"According to a report by Transportation Alternatives, in 2024, the top 10 super speeders in New York averaged 271 school zone speed camera tickets each. The worst offender topped 563 violations -at least one every 16 hours- including 70 violations at Ocean Parkway and Ocean Court, less than two miles away from the Midwood intersection where another super speeder with a suspended license -75% of drivers with suspended licenses drive anyway- killed a mother and her two young daughters"
Intelligent speed assistance (ISA) uses GPS to automatically adjust vehicle speed to within 5 mph of posted limits on local streets and highways, even if the driver accelerates. Proposed legislation would require ISA installation on vehicles of repeat offenders who receive 16 or more speed camera tickets in a year or accumulate 11 or more license points within 18 months. Drivers with 16 speed camera tickets face twice the likelihood of crashes causing serious injury or death. Demonstrations included a 10-minute test drive on expressway and local streets to show real-world functionality. Top super speeders accumulated hundreds of school zone violations in 2024, and repeat offenders have been linked to fatal crashes.
