""These results point to a small population with a shocking pattern of recidivism, resistance to traditional deterrents, and disregard for human life," said TA Executive Director Ben Furnas."
"Another driver with license plate LHR1977 - call him the Menace of Manhattan - got 474 speeding tickets last year in a Mercedes-Benz."
"The analysis of speed-camera tickets from 2024 shows that each region has one or two super-scofflaws all its own."
"Fines alone don't deter these dastards. Of the top 10, three have paid off all or most of their fines, ranging from $17,000 to $45,000."
Transportation Alternatives released an analysis indicating that certain drivers in NYC pose significant threats, with one driver receiving 563 tickets in a year. This report highlights how fines are ineffective in deterring habitual offenders, with many accumulating unpaid fines totaling over $200,000. Among the top offenders, there is a concerning pattern of resistance to penalties and a blatant disregard for public safety. The report emphasizes the urgent need for action to address these dangerous drivers who endanger lives across various neighborhoods.
