Following a tragic accident that resulted in the deaths of a mother and her two daughters in Brooklyn, advocates gathered to push for the Stop Super Speeders bill. This legislation aims to require intelligent speed assistance technology in vehicles driven by repeat offenders, thus mitigating reckless driving. The bill targets drivers with excessive points on their licenses or multiple traffic camera violations. Advocates believe this technology could prevent similar future tragedies, highlighting the urgent need for stricter traffic laws in light of concerning statistics about traffic violence.
Street safety advocates at Borough Hall on Monday said Saturday's tragedy could have been prevented if the legislation had been passed.
The proposed legislation would require the installation of intelligent speed assistance (ISA) technology in the vehicles of reckless drivers.
In New York City, a report from Transportation Alternatives shows that traffic violence claimed 193 lives in the first nine months of 2024.
Speeding contributes to more than 10,000 traffic deaths annually in the U.S.
