Where a Super Speeder Will Kill Next: New York's Top 10 Most Reckless Drivers & Their Favorite Intersections

[Passages]

New research from Transportation Alternatives and Families for Safe Streets identifies the top ten most reckless drivers in New York and the locations where they most frequently endanger New Yorkers’ lives.

NEW YORK – After a “super speeder” with 29 red light and school zone speed camera tickets on her record sped through a red light in Midwood, Brooklyn last week, killing a mother and her two young daughters in the crosswalk, Transportation Alternatives investigated the New Yorkers with the most school zone speed camera tickets and the locations where they most frequently break the law.

“These results point to a small population with a shocking pattern of recidivism, resistance to traditional deterrents, and disregard for human life,” said Transportation Alternatives Executive Director Ben Furnas. “Luckily, we have a solution that will keep New Yorkers safe: the Stop Super Speeders bill that would require speed limiters in the vehicles of the worst-of-the-worst repeat offenders. It’s time for Albany to pass this legislation now before the next deadly crash.”

“School zone speed cameras have been shown to change the behavior of the vast majority of drivers, but a small group of reckless New Yorkers still drive like they’re above the law,” said Amber Adler, a member of Families for Safe Streets. “A few weeks ago, one of those drivers sped through a red light and killed a mother and her two young daughters, near my neighborhood in Brooklyn — a crash that could have been prevented if the New York State legislature had taken action on common sense legislation and passed the Stop Super Speeders bill last year. This report provides a road map to where we can predict the most reckless drivers will eventually kill someone unless Albany acts this session.”

TA identified the top 10 super speeders – New Yorkers with the most school zone speed camera violations in New York State, many with hundreds more than the average driver – and the locations where they most frequently endanger New Yorkers’ lives. These most reckless drivers frequent a single borough and recurrently terrorize the same locations.

It is a privilege not a right to drive a vehicle and some should lose that privilege for good.

2. I agree, it is off the charts absurd that these people even have a license.

How many people can pay fines like that??
