MPs of Washington State suggest that they require devices to limit speed in cars of drivers with a history of too fast driving
Account presented in Washington state The legislative body would require drivers with history too fast to drive a device to limit speed to their cars.
House Bill 1596 is suggested after fans say that the increase in fatal accidents is caused by the ride too fast. The proposal of the Law was heard on Thursday in the House Committee and would demand that the cars of certain drivers be installed “Intelligent speed assistance,” Fox 13 states.
The device limits the car speed using GPS technology to monitor the speed limit on which the vehicle is driven. These drivers could exceed the speed limit of up to three times a month.
The driver would have a device on his car if he has a new limited license determined by the account. This is similar to how to use ignition devices for people with drunk driving history.
The drivers would also receive the device during the trial period after their license was suspended for races or “excessive speed”, which is defined as a ride at least 20 miles per hour via speed limit. Drivers could also determine the court if he had a device that limits speed on their car.
“We lose Washington and family members unnecessarily, tragically and preventively lose their loved one,” said the delegate of the Democratic State of Mari Leavitt, the main sponsor of the law of law.
“These are not accidents,” she added. “Intentionally people choose behavior that harms and often kill people.”
According to the 2023 data from the Washington Traffic Safety Commission, one of the three fatal collisions in the country included a driver. The total number of death collisions and the number that includes speed moves upwards than 2019.
“Between 2019 and 2024, the driver’s ticket tickets greater than 50 miles per hour during a speed limit increased by 200%,” Shelly Baldwin Commission testified. “So we know that this is an increasing problem we dealt with.”
Republican State Ambassador Gloria Mendoza asked that the account helps people to be sure by allowing speelers to continue to drive.
“So, we try to help them return the license by giving them this tool,” Mendoza said. “So how is this helping to save life?”

Leavitt replied, “We want to find a way to be able to drive lawfully, but for sure. And have them in the road in a safe way, save lives, because they are driving anyway, and they drive fast.
