Thank you to everyone who came out to support Advocacy Day!
@mikefor35 thank you for your leadership on this bill.
With #ISA technology, we can #StopSuperSpeeders & save the next family from experiencing the grief that our members know too well.

NC lawmakers test drove a vehicle equipped w/ Intelligent Speed Assistance to see firsthand how this technology prevents dangerous speeding.
Thank you to the NC General Assembly members who took the time to hear our stories and stand with families working to save lives.
NORTH CAROLINA - Today North Carolina Families for Safe Streets members met with legislators to urge support for HB 1199, sponsored by Rep. Schietzelt @mikefor35.
Speeding kills. A small group of repeat offenders—“super speeders”—cause a disproportionate number of deadly crashes. We have a solution: Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA). Proven, proactive, and fair.
Join us May 6 at the North Carolina General Assembly to #StopSuperSpeeders
It’s time to move beyond "minimum standards" and prioritize human life on our highways. The #SafeSystems solution to #StopUnderrides is to require strong #underride guards on large trucks. Join the 4/15 Town Hall: secure.everyaction.com/Uenc0…
Super speeders are responsible for a disproportionate number of crashes. ISA tech can prevent it. Fair, effective, lifesaving. Join us May 6th in Raleigh for North Carolina’s Stop Super Speeders Lobby Day. RSVP: secure.everyaction.com/vFvg9…
#StopSuperSpeeders
Speeding is deadly, but the worst offenders don’t have to keep putting lives at risk. ISA technology stops cars from going too fast — fair, proven, and life-saving. Support the upcoming #StopSuperSpeeders bill in #NorthCarolina: forms.gle/zRpCtnggpXtw3GJG9.
It's time for #IntelligentSpeedAssistance in #NC. A small group of high-risk drivers pose the greatest danger to all of us. To sign the #StopSuperSpeeders petition or sign up for the coalition, go to: familiesforsafestreets.org/s…

On NPR's @OnPointRadio, @MeghnaWBUR and I discussed car bloat's contribution to the US pedestrian safety crisis -- and why NHTSA's new plan to regulate hood designs could be a game changer.

Speed kills. Over 10,000 people are killed by speeding drivers in the US every year. This first-in-the-nation policy shows we *can* discourage dangerous vehicle speeds at the source. Urge @CAGovernor @GavinNewsom to #SignSB961

This year's #SafeStreetsWeek will be a great opportunity to kickoff #TrafficSafetyCulture efforts @ local businesses, organizations, community groups, etc. Together, we can reverse this public health crisis. @NCVisionZero @NC_GHSP @NCPublicHealth @NCDOT @hsrcinfo @UNC_IPRC

Liam Lagunas, forever 6, was killed by a speeding driver 3 years ago today. The driver that caused the fatal crash had a long history of traffic violations, including 3 prior DWIs. We need stricter penalties which prevent repeat offenders from killing innocent kids. @NCCDA1983
