Apparently, Communist Bill De Blasio thinks traffic laws are for peasants, and not the ruling elite. De Blasio’s gas guzzling caravan was caught speed and violating traffic laws just days after Comrade de Blasio announced an aggressive plan to prevent traffic deaths. Part of De Blasio’s ‘plan’ is to lower New York City’s speed limit to 25 MPH. De Blasio’s caravan was reportedly going 10 mph over a 30 mph speed limit and 15 mph over the 45 mph speed limit. De Blasio’s caravan was driving so recklessly, had it been a common person, they would have had their driver’s license revoked. But since it’s Bill de Blasio, nothing happens other than egg on his Communist face.
Just days after Mayor Bill de Blasio announced an aggressive plan to prevent traffic deaths, CBS 2 cameras caught the driver of a car carrying the mayor violating a number of traffic laws.
But the NYPD responded Thursday evening that the mayor’s caravan, which is operated by police, sometimes has to use special driving techniques for protective reasons.
As CBS 2′s Marcia Kramer reported Thursday, the mayor’s two-car caravan was seen speeding, blowing through stop signs, and violating other traffic laws. Kramer reported that if the driver of the lead car, which carried the mayor in its passenger seat, had been cited, he would have racked up enough points to get his license suspended.
When the mayor announced his 62-point safe streets initiative, which includes lowering the speed limit to 25 mph, he said, “We want the public to know that we are holding ourselves to this standard.”
But Kramer reported the mayor failed to practice what he preached Thursday.
CBS 2 crews found Mayor de Blasio’s cars going through a stop sign at a Queens intersection, and that wasn’t the only traffic violation caught on tape.
The safety violations came just two days after the mayor unveiled his traffic safety plan.
“We’ve put a very bold plan before you, and we want the public to know we’re are holding ourselves to this standard,” de Blasio said Tuesday.
The mayor’s two-car caravan violated speed laws and racked up other motor vehicle violations after he held a news conference in Maspeth, Queens on pothole repairs.
