Families devastated by deadly crashes rallied in Albany Tuesday, urging lawmakers to pass a bill requiring speed-limiting tech in cars of high-risk drivers, according to advocates.
The proposed Stop Super Speeders Act would mandate intelligent speed assistance devices for those with multiple red-light violations or over 11 license points in two years. The tool caps a car’s speed at just five mph over the limit, aiming to curb repeat offenses without revoking licenses.
Supporters say it’s a life-saving, cost-effective solution, echoing programs used for DWI offenders. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Andrew Gounardes, is under review in the Senate Transportation Committee as families press for urgent action.
