Missouri lawmakers are considering a new approach to traffic safety that would allow repeat speeding offenders to stay on the road under tighter restrictions. House Bill 3317, sponsored by State Rep. Sherri Gallick, would give judges the option to require these drivers to install intelligent speed assistance devices in their vehicles to prevent them from exceeding speed limits. The goal is to reduce dangerous driving while still allowing people to access essential services. Participation in the program would be optional after a first violation and mandatory after a second, with all costs covered by the driver. Supporters believe the measure provides accountability without creating additional transportation barriers and could help bring non-compliant drivers back into compliance while improving safety.
