"The device, called Intelligent Speed Assistance, functions like ignition interlock devices that have long been required for drunk-driving offenders: same logic, same proportionality, same lifesaving potential, and the same ability to keep driving."
"New York City's 10-worst super speeders averaged 179 school-zone speed camera tickets each in 2025 alone. One driver accumulated more than 1,000 tickets since 2023 and paid nearly $64,000 in fines without changing his behavior at all."
"These drivers are dangerous - a vehicle with 17 tickets is twice as likely to be involved in a crash that seriously injures or kills someone, and a vehicle with 30 tickets is 22 times as likely."
New York City faces a severe traffic safety issue, with hundreds of fatalities each year due to speeding drivers. The proposed Stop Super Speeders Act aims to install Intelligent Speed Assistance devices in vehicles of repeat offenders. This initiative has widespread support from government officials and organizations. Data shows that drivers with numerous speed camera tickets are significantly more likely to cause serious accidents. The urgency to pass this legislation is critical to prevent further tragedies on the roads.
