New York’s worst speed demons might finally get their wings clipped under a bold new plan hitting the brakes on chronic lead-foot drivers. Politicians are pushing a controversial rule that’d slap GPS-powered speed caps on repeat offenders, effectively putting their rides on digital lockdown when they try to blow past speed signs.
Forget about gentle warnings—this is hardcore. The so-called Stop Super Speeders Act zeroes in on those who’ve stacked up at least 11 license points in two years or 16 red-light/speeding cam tickets in one. If you hit that mark, congrats: your car gets a new chaperone. The tech uses GPS to ping local speed limits and slams the brakes if you try pushing more than five mph over. It’s like having a nagging backseat driver glued to your dashboard, except this one’s got authority.
Sure, there’s a flimsy “emergency override” for those just-gotta-pass moments, but let’s be real—it’s built to kill the joyride. And guess who foots the $1,000 bill for this party pooper? Yep, the speed-addicted driver.
Backers claim it targets the top-tier road menaces, the kind who treat highways like their personal Autobahn. Roughly 3,000 to 4,000 vehicles could get tagged if this thing sticks, and with the Senate already rubber-stamping it, Albany’s one Assembly vote away from making lives miserable for pedal-happy motorists.
But not everyone’s cheering. Skeptics grumble about enforcement nightmares—what’s stopping some wise guy from just swapping cars? Still, whether you love it or hate it, this is New York going nuclear on speeders, trading traffic cops for silicon enforcers. No more polite tickets. Just cold, hard tech justice.
Even so, the real question lingers: will this actually slow down the worst offenders, or just send them hunting for loopholes? Because let’s face it, where there’s a will—and a ’92 Camaro without GPS—there’s a way.
