"Every day, New York City's network of traffic cameras ticket thousands of drivers for exceeding the speed limit by 11 or more miles per hour - but the actual scope of dangerous vehicular speeding is almost certainly worse than what those cameras capture."
"The worst driver, whom TA did not name, accumulated more than $63,000 in speeding and red-light tickets since 2023 - including $18,000 in speeding and red-light tickets in 2025 alone. This driver pilots a black 2023 Audi A6 with the New York license plate LCM8254."
"The most shocking thing about TA's report is that it does not - and cannot - document the true extent of speeding in New York City. That's because it relies exclusively on violation data generated by fixed speed cameras, which drivers routinely evade by obscuring and defacing their license plates or removing them altogether."
Transportation Alternatives' second annual report identifies New York City's most hazardous drivers, revealing that the worst speeder accumulated over $63,000 in tickets since 2023, including $18,000 in 2025 alone. This same driver, identified in 2024, continues operating a black Audi A6 in Brooklyn's Gravesend and Brighton Beach areas. However, the report's data significantly underestimates actual speeding because it relies solely on fixed speed cameras, which drivers evade through license plate obstruction, defacement, or removal. The documented hotspots correlate with areas where fatal crashes have occurred, including a March incident where a recidivist speeder killed a woman and two children.
