"These Super Speeders blast their cars and trucks through New York City's neighborhood streets at deadly speeds every day, getting caught hundreds of times a year, undeterred. Together, their reign of terror touches almost every corner of the city."
"The worst super speeder in the city received 259 tickets and paid over $60,000 in fines - but is still able to drive on city roadways. In addition, the worst super speeder in 2025 was also the worst in 2024 - this vehicle, a 2023 Audi A6, has received over 1,000 speed camera tickets since it was purchased in mid-2023."
"The legislation introduced by State Sen. Andrew Gounardes would require drivers with 16 speeding tickets in a single year to have a speed limiter installed on their car, automatically limiting their vehicle to within 5 mph of the speed limit of any given road."
A report by Transportation Alternatives and Families for Safe Streets identified New York City's 10 most reckless drivers, each receiving more than 200 speeding tickets in 2024. The worst offender, a 2023 Audi A6, accumulated 259 tickets and paid over $60,000 in fines, yet retained driving privileges. This same vehicle was also the worst speeder in 2024 and has received over 1,000 speed camera tickets since purchase in mid-2023. School zone speed cameras caught these drivers an average of 179 times each. More than 2.5 million New Yorkers live within a 5-minute walk of intersections where these super speeders were caught. Advocacy groups are pushing for the "Stop Super Speeders" bill, which would require drivers with 16 annual speeding tickets to install speed limiters on their vehicles.
