States add speed limiters for repeat speeders

States are moving to use Intelligent Speed Assistance on some repeat speeders, according to Land Line. The technology reads the posted speed limit and can slow a vehicle that exceeds a set threshold.

Virginia now allows judges to order speed limiters for drivers caught going 100 mph or faster. The law took effect July 1.

Washington’s law begins in January 2029. Drivers convicted of reckless or excessive speeding must pay to have a speed limiter installed. They can override the device only three times each month.

New York has also launched a pilot program in New York City. Starting next year, drivers who rack up 16 or more speed-camera tickets in a year must include the device to keep driving legally.

Maryland’s new law creates an Intelligent Speed Assistance pilot program for drivers convicted of repeat speeding, reckless driving and other serious offenses. The program begins Oct. 1, according to the report.

Illinois’ new law creates a speed-limiter program for repeat offenders. Drivers must keep the device installed for six months to one year to keep their license. The law takes effect on Jan. 1, 2028.

Arizona also adopted a separate rule that lets judges order some drivers to install a speed limiter instead of automatically revoking a license. That law takes effect on July 1, 2027.
