Advocates has joined with other safety partners to support SB 1927 (Massey-R) and HB 1883 (Rudd-R), the Super Speeder Accountability Act, which would establish a framework for Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) devices in Tennessee. The bill focuses on the problem of super speeders and chronic reckless drivers, whose actions behind the wheel put public safety at risk.
The Tennessee Highway Patrol has noted that in recent years, more than 6,500 speeding-related crashes have occurred annually on Tennessee roads. These crashes are over five times more likely to be fatal as those where speed isn’t a factor.
We urge legislators to enact this legislation to save lives on Tennessee Roadways.
