Rep. Marti Deuter is pushing a bill that would allow drivers to have a speed control device installed in their car rather than having their license suspended. “Speeding is a chronic problem on our streets and is a threat to public safety,” Deuter told a House committee last month. “Speeding is a factor in nearly half of all deadly crashes. Risk of fatality increases as speed increases.”
Why not just impound and forfeit the vehicles of reckless drivers? Illinois and Chicago have great public transportation…plus they invested tens of millions in bike lanes for these people.

Another stupid brain dead democrap idea. Vehicles moving significantly slower than other traffic, for example 55 limit when all other traffic is doing 70, are a real hazard as cars back up and seek a way around the slow poke. Try doing 60 on I88 and see what patterns emerge.

There is already a device called the accelerator peddle. I find it works well. How about a shock collar instead if they need drivers retraining.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
