"Speed kills, and too often our current penalties aren't enough to stop the deadly behavior that shatters families and devastates communities. For too long, traditional penalties - fines, points, suspensions - haven't stopped the worst offenders from putting lives at risk."
"Active ISA technology uses GPS, digital maps or similar tools to determine posted speed limits in real time and actively prevent vehicles from exceeding them, rather than merely warning drivers. Under Soria's proposal, drivers convicted of serious speeding offenses would be required to install the devices for a set period, with courts determining terms based on judicial discretion and offense history."
Assembly Bill 2276, introduced by Assemblymember Esmeralda Soria, targets dangerous drivers through a statewide pilot program requiring installation of active intelligent speed assistance (ISA) devices. These devices use GPS and digital maps to determine posted speed limits in real time and actively prevent vehicles from exceeding them. Courts would order installation for drivers convicted of reckless driving or extreme speeding offenses, with duration tailored to offense severity and frequency. The legislation includes income-based fee provisions to protect low-income drivers. Safety advocates support the measure, arguing traditional penalties like fines and suspensions have failed to deter the most dangerous offenders from high-speed driving that causes fatal crashes.
