"The amended bill is such a no-brainer that it should even pass a brainless legislature; all it requires is for repeatedly and excessively reckless drivers to have their cars rendered unable to be driven recklessly. It doesn't take away the car; it doesn't suspend a license; it doesn't raise insurance fees. It just makes the car itself less able to a death machine."
"Is it really such a heavy legislative lift to require the worst drivers to drive the speed limit? I mean, there's already a speed limit, so is it too much to ask that drivers - I don't know - adhere to it? In any event, Gounardes will let reporters "test-drive the vehicle on a 10-minute route that includes the Prospect Expressway as well as local Brooklyn streets," according to his office."
A demonstration at Seventh Avenue and 18th Street in Greenwood Heights will let reporters drive a car fitted with a speed governor at 11:30 a.m. State Sen. Andrew Gounardes seeks a law (S4045, Stop Super Speeders Act) requiring speed governors in vehicles of drivers found guilty of 16 speed-camera tickets within any 12-month period. The bill was watered down in the 2025 legislative session from an original six-ticket trigger. The measure would not confiscate vehicles, suspend licenses, or raise insurance; it would mechanically limit vehicles to prevent excessive speeds. Additional reporting notes mention the Academy bus company's effort to seek an idling-law exemption.
