Former Governor Andrew Cuomo's Dodge Charger has been caught speeding in Manhattan, receiving two school zone camera violations in March. Despite the tickets being paid, there's concern regarding public safety, particularly considering that drivers must exceed speed limits by at least 11 MPH to trigger these cameras. Cuomo, known for his muscle cars, raises questions about his approach to safety, particularly as he is campaigning for mayor. His campaign clarified he was driving on a highway-style road, but the violations still cast a shadow on his fitness for office.
Pedestrians struck by drivers at that speed have a much greater likelihood of dying from injuries sustained in the crash than if they are struck by drivers who are following the law.
In order to trigger a city speed camera, a driver must be going at least 11 miles per hour above the speed limit.
It is unclear why Cuomo - whose muscle cars are so much a part of his identity - would endanger his would-be constituents by driving recklessly.
Cuomo's bromobile was slapped with two school zone speed camera violations on March 28, both in Manhattan.
