Push to implement safe driving technology, prevent speeding

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Traffic safety advocates are asking New York State lawmakers to pass a bill meant to prevent drivers from speeding. The proposal would require drivers who have been ticketed for reckless driving repeatedly to have speed assistance technology installed in their vehicles.

The system uses mapping technology to determine the speed limit and prevents the vehicle from traveling faster. Supporters said the technology is not meant to punish drivers but to help them improve their driving habits.
