resipsaloquiturThe top 10 speeders in New York City
Andrew BeveridgeWhy aren’t the human drivers banned from driving, and publicly named and shamed?
Because this data was collected from traffic cameras, which slightly limits the actions that can be taken (notably, because they can’t prove who was behind the wheel there are no points on the license). IMO what you should be asking is why has the NPD not stationed a traffic cop around each of these places specifically to catch these guys.
infinitesunriseNope, all of this data is from school zone speed cameras, which can reliably determine speed and automatically issue tickets. Here’s last year’s report transalt.org/…/yn29thckywv9n0qpsv4jb1ab07nryp

Where a Super Speeder Will Kill Next: New York’s Top 10 Most Reckless Drivers & Their Favorite Intersections — Transportation Alternatives
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 o
That… is what I said yes. Cameras (I said traffic because I include school zone cameras in that category) detected these cars speeding and issued a ticket to the vehicle’s owner, who in these examples is probably the driver, but because the tickets were automatically issued and the cameras can’t reliably identify the driver there are no points on the license.
My bad, I did misread. I thought you meant to imply that fines collected is one of the actions that can’t be taken, you did not.
Regarding human involvement, I trust a camera a lot more than a cop. And NYC already has over 40,000 cops, it’s literally like an army. They don’t care.
