New York City\u2019s 10 \u201cSuper Speeders\u201d \u2014 drivers hit with the highest number of speeding tickets last year \u2014 racked up an average of 179 school-zone speed-camera infractions each, according to a new Transportation Alternatives Data analysis released Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The infractions were scattered across such a wide swath of the city that 2.5 million New Yorkers live within five minutes of intersections through which the super speeders barreled, the nonprofit advocacy group charged.<\/p>\n
\u201cTogether, their reign of terror touches almost every corner of the city. Some 2.5 million of us, including my family, live a stone\u2019s throw from this threat,\u201d said Transportation Alternatives Executive Director Ben Furnas of the 10 Super Speeders. \u201cIt\u2019s like someone shooting a gun into a crowd.\u201d<\/p>\n
The worst Super Speeder of all<\/p>\n
The group, along with its sister organization Families for Safe Streets, also found the worst offender of the bunch \u2014 the driver of a black 2023 Audi A6, who was caught speeding by school-zone cameras a staggering 259 times last year. It was not his first time on the super speeder list.<\/p>\n
The driver, who has paid off nearly $64,000 in fines, was also found to be the top super speeder in 2024<\/a>, and has gotten 1,000 speed camera tickets since purchasing their vehicle in 2023, the groups\u2019 analysis found.<\/p>\n Like the Audi driver, the other super speeders seem undeterred by having to pay thousands of dollars in speed camera tickets, according to the groups\u2019 findings.\n<\/p>\n Four of the other top speeders paid off either all or a majority of the fines they received over three years \u2014 those ranged from $10,200 to $20,300 each. The rest paid off few to none of their tickets and owe an average $19,400 each \u2014 totaling $97,000.<\/p>\n Additionally, cops hit just three of the top 10 worst offenders with moving violations related to speeding, the groups\u2019 report found.\n<\/p>\n \u201cThese Super Speeders blast their cars and trucks through New York City\u2019s neighborhood streets at deadly speeds every day, getting caught hundreds of times a year, undeterred,\u201d Furnas added.<\/p>\n \u2018Super Speeders\u2019 report highlights need for speed-limiting device law<\/p>\n They released the data on Wednesday as part of their push for state legislation that would install speed-limiting devices \u2014 also known as Intelligent Speed Assistance technology \u2014 in the cars of drivers who accumulate a certain number of speed-camera tickets in a year. Once installed, the devices prevent drivers from exceeding the speed limit by a few miles, thereby reducing the likelihood of deadly crashes.<\/p>\n Philip Miatkowski, Transportation Alternatives\u2019 Senior Director of Research and Policy, said in a statement that data shows drivers who have accrued double-digit totals of speeding tickets are fr more likely to kill or injure another New Yorker.<\/p>\n \u201cSome of these drivers have hundreds more than that \u2014 it\u2019s just a matter of time before one of New York\u2019s most reckless drivers kills someone,\u201d Miatkowski said. \u201cAlbany has the power to stop this before it happens, but the legislature needs to include the Stop Super Speeders bill in the final state budget.\u201d<\/p>\n
