New York families are under threat by dangerous super speeders. This driver had more than 90 tickets - including 13 school zone speeding tickets last year. 1.5% of the worst speeders kill more than 20% of pedestrians. It’s time for Albany to act.

I will agree with you here. But the obsession with speed cameras led to a lack of any real enforcement, meaning most of us driving safely down Eastern/Pelham/Queens/Ocean pkwys have to deal with miscreants zooming in and out of traffic.
Agree - time to crack down on the super speeders that put everyone else on the road - including other drivers - at risk.
So your statement talks about "speed limiters in the vehicles of New York’s most reckless super speeders" and mentions drivers with 52 speeding tickets/year. But the bill we are asked to support is dramatically greater in scope: 6 camera speeding/red light tickets/year.

I'd vote for a 50 violations strike rule where we throw them in prison for 10 years after they cross it. It's a crazy enough number that no normal person can argue against it. And no decent driver would ever reach it.
We don't need new digital nannies which will trickle down to normal drivers through state mandates or insurance. Suspend their licenses and if they continue to drive, JAIL. Simple and effective.

As I've observed before, you only have two choices. You can put people in prison. Or you can run your entire society like a prison. Because some people, a certain small percentage, just plain don't act right. Doesn't matter why — bad seed, bad parents, bad celestial x.com/AuronMacintyre…

If folks have such suicidal-homicidal compulsions, there should maybe be a place, somewhere, for them to combat each other, complete with informed consent of their odds. Real problem, we decided to locate all their free fire zones inside our cities. Hmm.
An hour ago an SUV drove by me and my wife doing at least 60 on the 145th St bridge, totally out of control. Thought they were going to jump the curb.
How about you guys stop fucking around and actually protect people. A speed limiter won't stop them if they get into a different car. Take away their license and put them in prison why is it so difficult? Why do you people think a device is going to stop this?
Yall will do anything except put criminals in jail. That’s the only thing that will stop them. Not taking away licenses, speed limiters, cameras, lowered speed limits.
Might want to start by making an example of Councilwoman Selvena Brooks-Powers, "head of transit"
