Advocates along with several other partner safety organizations have sent a letter of support for House Bill 1596 to members of the Senate Transportation Committee in the Washington State Legislature. Driving in Washington state has become increasingly dangerous. Over 30% of fatalities on Washington roads involved speeding drivers.
If adopted, HB 1596 would allow drivers convicted of reckless driving, or three or more moving violations, at least one of which is excessive speed, to install and use technology that limits a motor vehicle’s speed based on the applicable speed limits, in lieu of license suspension. An ISA device uses GPS technology to recognize speed limits and prevent the vehicle from operating beyond pre-set limits.
