A teenager admitted to being 'addicted to speed' after causing a tragic accident in Seattle, resulting in four deaths in a minivan. He was sentenced to over 17 years in prison. The judge mandated that any future vehicle he drives must have a speed-limiting device, reflecting new legislation in Virginia aimed at tackling dangerous driving. The growing problem of traffic fatalities has led states like New York and California to consider similar measures, emphasizing advocacy from victims' families for safer roads.
Turning tragedy into activism has been a response from families affected by similar incidents, like Amy Cohen, who advocates for safer roads after losing her son.
The novel use of speed limiting devices for dangerous drivers in Virginia offers hope in combating the national spike in traffic deaths, with other states following suit.
