The advocacy group is calling on lawmakers to pass the "Stop Super Speeders" bill.
The legislation introduced by State Sen. Andrew Gounardes would require drivers with 16 speeding tickets in a single year to have a speed limiter installed on their car, automatically limiting their vehicle to within 5 mph of the speed limit of any given road.
Half of the top 10 super speeders concentrate their speeding in Brooklyn, particularly in South and East Brooklyn, according to the report. One super speeder in Manhattan received 101 speeding tickets on Broadway within a five-month period.
“The data shows that a driver with 44 speed camera tickets is 725 times more likely to kill or seriously injure a fellow New Yorker,” Philip Miatkowski, Senior Director of Research and Policy at Transportation Alternatives, said in. a statement. “Some of these drivers have hundreds more than that — it’s just a matter of time before one of New York’s most reckless drivers kills someone. Albany has the power to stop this before it happens, but the legislature needs to include the Stop Super Speeders bill in the final state budget.”
