You really don’t ever hear much about the state of Washington. I mean, what are they famous for? Microsoft, salmon, coffee and grunge? But if communists in that state get their way, they will soon by spying on drivers, monitoring their speed in new car purchases.
A bill introduced in the Washington state legislature would require drivers with a history of speeding to have a speed-limiting device placed on their cars.
House Bill 1596 was proposed after supporters say an increase in fatal accidents was caused by speeding. The bill was heard in the House Transportation Committee on Thursday and would require an “intelligent speed assistance device” to be installed in the cars of certain drivers, according to Fox 13.
The device limits the speed of the car using GPS technology. These drivers could exceed the speed limit up to three times a month.
Drivers would have the device on their car if they have a new restricted license established by the bill. This is similar to how ignition interlock devices are used for people with a history of drunken driving.
