"We are in a traffic safety crisis," Assemblymember Josh Lowenthal (D-Long Beach) said on behalf of Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), who wrote the bill, at a recent hearing. "Over 4,000 Californians die every year in traffic collisions on our roadways - a dramatic increase from pre-pandemic levels - and speeding is a major factor in one-third of these fatalities."
"In a state where over 1,000 people are killed by speeding drivers every year, this technology will absolutely help to reduce traffic violence caused by speeding drivers in the same way that seat belts have helped to save the lives of drivers and passengers," said Damian Kevitt, the executive director of Streets Are For Everyone. The nonprofit is one of the co-sponsors of the bill.
