    Activists say that Giovansanti is a poster child for the urgency of passing the “Stop Super Speeders Act,” a pending bill in Albany that would force the worst repeat speeders to install a speed limiter in their vehicles.

    Crazy that this is the suggestion. Point system like in most of Europe and take the license away when no more points. USA is really wild.

        In most areas, you can only get a point on your license if an actual officer gives you the ticket. You can’t get them from automated speed cameras. Most of these tickets seem to be from cameras.

        Depends on the state. Most you do get points for this shit. In most states that many tickets would have revoked his license several times over.

        But you just know this dude would still drive without a license.

      I wish speed limiters were automated. Would be pretty easy to do with GPS being in every vehicle now.

          If you want people to interact with you, you’re going to have to learn to discuss things like a civilized human being.

            You know you’re in a community with “fuck” right there in the name, right?

            If there’s any toxic behavior going on here, it’s your tone-policing. This is your warning.

              Good question.

              His rude and aggressive tone, for one. Totally unnecessary.

              And his apparent ignorance of the fact that there are other solutions for another.

                I think you’re just adding tone where there isn’t any. His reply doesn’t seem aggressive. He’s just expressing shock and dismay that someone would invite more government tracking into their vehicle willingly.

            If you want to interact with people online, you’re going to not have to act like a child when they say the word fuck.

            It wasn’t even said with any anger towards you, the fact that you could be offended by that is mind boggling.

            DoN’t CuSs It’S nOt CivIWiSeD

            That’s an uncivilized response. Don’t take choice of vocabulary as sign of civilization.
