And speed is highly correlated to the lethality of car wrecks. Also, it sounds like the devices would be installed in the cars of people who… speed frequently.
So, it is directly addressing the problem without asset seizure or jail time. Sounds like an ideal solution, actually.
Revoking drivers licenses would probably be more appropriate than seizing vehicles. The upside to that is revoking licenses, I’d wager, is a whole lot cheaper than installing and monitoring speed trackers.
So long as the person with the speeding problem is paying for that I guess it’s acceptable. But then we have yet another example of people without much money getting a raw deal. Means testing? Everything gets complicated when it gets to the implementation details.
Both options are potentially bad for low-income earners. If you force them to pay for a speed limiter they lost the money for that, which they might not able to afford. If you take away their license they will have difficulty getting around and might lose their job.
So from that perspective the speed limiter might be the less dangerous choice.
You can’t take people’s cars away or they will have no way to make money and live in America
Just the truth sorry

Could always live in a city. Rural areas (I include american type suburbs here too) are for fat and dumb people.
All cities have fantastic public transit at all times, this is known. /s
Also what’s with the rural hate outta nowhere?
Especially in New York City! How would you ever get anywhere on time without a car in New York City?!
