The vote came after its sponsor Sen. Andrew Gounardes (D-Bay Ridge) showed up to lobby his colleagues on its behalf. He made his standard pitch: The bill, which requires a speed-limiting device to be installed in the cars of motorists with six or more camera-issued speeding tickets in 12 months, is better than license suspension because everyone knows that drivers in a car-dependent state like ours will still drive even if their license is suspended.
Yeah I didn’t own a car until I was 35 because before then I lived in NYC… IMO it’s much harder to own a car there than it is to be car-free. To be fair though this guy is from Staten Island, the one borough that wants more than anything to be a forgotten strip mall suburb.
