New Yorkers Who Keep Speeding Could Have New Device Installed in Cars
Summary
New York lawmakers propose a bill requiring drivers who repeatedly speed to install devices that limit their car’s speed. The device uses technology to keep the vehicle from going much faster than the speed limit. The bill aims to prevent dangerous driving rather than just punish it with fines.Key Facts
- The bill is called the Stop Super Speeders Act and targets repeat speeding offenders in New York.
- Courts could order these drivers to install "intelligent speed assistance" (ISA) devices on their cars.
- ISA devices use GPS and maps to keep a vehicle’s speed about 5 miles per hour above the posted limit.
- Drivers could be required to install the device if they get 11 or more speeding points or many camera violations within a certain time.
- The device requirement would typically last at least 12 months alongside fines or license suspension.
- The bill passed the New York State Senate in June 2025 but still needs approval from the Assembly and the governor.
- Similar laws are being implemented or considered in Virginia, Washington, the District of Columbia, and other states.
- These laws focus on stopping speeding before it happens by limiting car speed, not just punishing after the fact.
