In the Missouri Legislature, Advocates and other safety partners are supporting HB 3317 (Gallick-R), the Super Speeder Accountability Act, which would establish a framework for Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) devices in Missouri. The bill focuses on the problem of super speeders and chronic reckless drivers, whose actions behind the wheel put public safety at risk. This legislation addresses excessive speeding violations by requiring certain speeding offenders to install and maintain ISA devices on their vehicles as a condition of obtaining restricted licenses or license reinstatement. The legislation establishes licensing requirements for ISA device providers, compliance-monitoring procedures, and sets forth administrative and judicial review processes.
Speeding contributes to nearly one-third of our nation’s traffic fatalities, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). These deaths are preventable. HB 3317 will save lives by requiring super speeders whose licenses have been suspended or revoked to use aftermarket ISA technology for a period of one year (longer on subsequent program enrollments). Program participants will be allowed to obtain a restricted license with ISA program participation. This is especially important because about 75 percent of people continue to drive on a suspended license.
Missouri has a speeding problem. In a release from Missouri’s Department of Transportation, preliminary figures for 2025 indicated 911 fatalities on Missouri roadways in 2025. In an earlier study from 2023, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that speeding contributes to 37 percent of traffic fatalities in the state in 2023.
