Slow Down Act

Key Points

• This bill would allow states to create Stop Super Speeders programs. These programs would require certain drivers to install technology in their cars that automatically prevents the vehicle from going over the speed limit.
• The rules would target people who have a history of very high speeds or multiple speeding tickets. These drivers would have to use active intelligent speed assistance technology to keep their driving within legal limits.
• The goal is to reduce dangerous speeding on highways by taking control away from drivers who have proven they cannot follow speed limits. It aims to make roads safer for everyone by stopping the most dangerous drivers from speeding.
• If a driver is required to have this technology but fails to use it or tries to bypass it, they would face specific penalties. The bill lets states decide exactly how to punish people who do not follow these new rules.
