The bill allows New York City to require the speed governor for the cars of traffic scofflaws who incur school zone speed camera violations 16 times or more in 12 months. The city would create and run the pilot program.

What? Why do they have licenses still?

Ah, finally going after the cops, right?

... right?

After 16 times specifically in a school zone in a 12 month period? Surely this is so watered down it affects nobod-

Streetsblog reported that Staten Island cop James Giovansanti notched 547 speed-camera and red-light violations since 2022

Insanity

There are some crazy drivers that love to speed by my place every night, all night. Loud ones. Popcorn makers. I’m considering spike strips and hoping they hit a tree.

The final legislation includes carve-outs for several classes of drivers. Vehicles owned and operated by the state, city, public agencies or political subdivisions are exempt

I'm fine with police, fire and ambulance not being covered by the law. But there are also cars for various public officials, and I think those should be covered.

joining all vehicles regulated by the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission.

Uh, what? No. Taxis are already dangerous enough!

Commercial vehicles that are regularly used by two or more drivers are also exempt.

No, it should be all vehicles the person has regular access to. If that inconveniences the guy's coworkers, then the guy can just live with the public shame of having zipped through school zones 16 times in a year.

drivers will also have to install the devices on all vehicles registered under their name, which would prevent the abuse of family cars or similar arrangements

No it doesn't. The governors should be installed on all cars in a household, not just one person's name.

Fuck cars
