Assemblymember Esmeralda Soria (D-Merced) introduced legislation this week aimed at curbing deadly high-speed driving by targeting the drivers most likely to cause catastrophic crashes. Assembly Bill 2276, The Stop Super Speeders Act would create a statewide pilot program requiring reckless and excessive speed offenders to install active intelligent speed assistance (ISA) devices in their vehicles as a condition of regaining driving privileges.

“Speed kills, and too often our current penalties aren’t enough to stop the deadly behavior that shatters families and devastates communities,” Soria said in a statement announcing the bill.
