    The model year+color means it’s just one car/one driver? Isn’t more than 150 violations per year like more than $20k?

        COVID was like one day of quiet streets except for ambulances followed by NYERRRRRRRRM until things started opening back up. You can’t win with cars. Congestion charges just keep the streets clearer for these assholes.

        Fines start at $400 in a school zone and you can only get three before losing your licence - unless you register the car under a company and refuse to nominate a driver - then it’s $11k each time

        The car would be seized at $5k of fines where I live, or even before that, depending on just how egregious the speed violation was

      there’s some shit going on in nyc lol. I don’t expect they’re paying the fines. Or they’re somehow making more on videos of them doing it than the fines cost.

      I also can’t vouch for its accuracy but I suspect its related to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpG0LdTNfOc
