The New York State Senate revised the Stop Super Speeders bill late at night, increasing the annual ticket threshold from six to 16, which drastically reduces the number of drivers subjected to speed-limiting devices. This decision diminishes potential coverage from over 152,000 drivers in NYC to just over 17,000. Advocates argue this change allows dangerous drivers, such as individuals with multiple tickets, to evade scrutiny. Senator Andrew Gounardes, despite his disappointment, emphasizes the importance of refining the program by concentrating on the most reckless drivers moving forward.
"This change significantly raises the threshold from six red-light or speed-camera tickets annually, to 16 speed-camera tickets, diluting the Stop Super Speeders bill."
"According to StreetsBlog, this modifies coverage from 152,928 NYC drivers to only 17,084 this year, effectively sparing reckless speeders like Miriam Yarimi."
"Senator Andrew Gounardes expressed disappointment but noted the need to focus on a smaller number of reckless drivers to refine the program for future development."
