New bill in Albany requiring cars to limit driver to 5 MPH over speed limit

[Cavalry]

Anything that is put on a car can be taken off a car.
I'm sure everyone knows a person who is handy with tools.
The really good ones can do it so it looks like it is still there and working.

It will be no different than the breathalyzers for repeat DWI offenders. It will take your picture when you start it and report back if it loses communication. Sure anything can be done, but most people do not have the means or desire to beat the system that much.

then borrow neighbors car .... law defeated ..

Again like the breathalyzers. One could take another vehicle but getting caught is a separate charge on probably an already conditional license.

I don't like the nanny state bullshit, but this all all for people who have proven they cannot follow the rules. I think the punishment should be harsher, not more monitoring

but with the trinkle down theory all will end with it before too long.....the slippery slope for the good of the Regular Folk!!!!

first the bad drivers..then why not everyone!!!!! that way no one can be "bad".

… because noone ever has been in a position they needed to accelerate quickly to avoid a situation…..ever.

How my State policing do we really need? Limit Sugar….OR establish your diet is effecting your health and YOUR health rates may increase. Limit speed… OR enforce what you have (OBTW, A LOT of State Worker plates PASS me on the road…..A Lot. Many are smoked glass with antennas on the roof with low state numbers (the VERY important folks). Wonder if this will apply to those.

Not quite that simple. The devices are monitored remotely and take photos. Theyre there as a "last chance" type thing, you get caught tampering with them and you're in way more trouble.

Funny how repeat offenders who speed get this idiotic device, but repeat offenders of a litany of other, much more impactful crimes go completely unpunished.
I am also sure that certain segments of society will never be saddled with these devices.
And yes, this is likely a trial run before mandating these for everyone.

My employer is installing these things in our vehicles. I can guarantee that someone will end of being killed, especially if they have to drive on the highway.

I’m not sure we’re all thinking about what this requires. We’ve already given Google Maps, our routines, our habits where we go where we stop where we live. In order for this system to work it’s gonna require either a new vehicle with a navigation system, otherwise how do they know what the speed limit is and how to limit your vehicle, or some type of plug-in which does the same thing. Big brother on steroids.

It would be an add-on accessory thats GPS enabled and also tied into the cars network system. Its not difficult at all.

My point was MORE government control and monitoring. We sure give a lot away. No, not a hard Tech task.
