Buckle up: A bill mandating speed limiters in vehicles of repeat offenders is making headway in Albany
Briefly

The New York state Senate passed the Stop Super Speeders bill aimed at curbing reckless driving, though critics argue it has been weakened from its original form. Initially mandating speed-limited devices for drivers accruing 11 points or receiving six tickets, the bill has been amended to require these devices after 16 speed camera tickets within a year and dropped red-light offenses. Proponents believe the updates will enhance the bill's chance of passage while still addressing concerns about dangerous driving behaviors effectively.
The changes were made to help ensure its passage, reflecting concerns that six felt really low. Hundreds of thousands of cars had six or more tickets.
The speed limiters are part of a new program that is a different strategy for minimizing speeding, important to start with a more manageable universe of reckless drivers.
