    Press Conference Advisory

    Assemblymember Krekorian Fights to Stop Dangerous Speeding Drivers

    Fate of bill to take the worst speeders off our streets to be decided
    by key Senate Committee


    Assemblymember Paul Krekorian will conduct a press conference to discuss
    his legislation, AB 2669, that will help to rid our streets of drivers
    who are among the greatest dangers to the lives of our families -- those
    who repeatedly commit gross violations of speed limits.

    Assemblymember Krekorian introduced AB 2669 is in response to the many
    serious accidents in our community that have been caused by reckless
    speeding, including the tragic death of Elizabeth Sandoval in Glendale
    last year. Under this legislation, drivers who speed in excess of 26
    miles over the posted speed limit on city streets will be penalized with
    an extra violation point on their driving record. As a result, these
    serial gross violators will lose their driving licenses twice as quickly
    as under current law, making our streets safer for law-abiding drivers
    and pedestrians.

    AB 2669 passed the Assembly with overwhelming bipartisan support. It is
    currently before the Senate Appropriations Committee, which will act
    next week to allow the bill to proceed to a vote of the full Senate.
