Following a tragic Brooklyn crash that killed a mother and her two children, state officials are pushing for "Stop Super Speeders" legislation. This proposed bill mandates that repeat reckless drivers—those who earn 11 points on their licenses or accumulate six red light or speed camera tickets—have speed limiters installed on their vehicles. Technology called intelligent speed assistance (ISA), already used in Europe, would help enforce safe driving. Local officials argue this measure could significantly reduce preventable accidents and protect community members from reckless driving.
State Senator Andrew Gounardes emphasized the urgent need for legislation to introduce speed limiters on vehicles owned by repeat reckless drivers to prevent tragic incidents.
The call for new measures follows a tragic crash that resulted in the deaths of a mother and two children, highlighting the pressing issue of reckless driving.
Gounardes stated that the intelligent speed assistance technology used in Europe could help enforce safe driving in New York and prevent preventable tragedies.
Highlighting a case with over 700 violations, Gounardes argued that legislative action is needed to hold reckless drivers accountable and protect communities.
