He only travels in his Ford dodger
He has been caught speeding again and again in his Ford dodger:
Cuomo was supported by Wall Street and Car Companies:
You defeated him. And the guy who won the democratic primary doesn't even own a car.
Congratulations 🎉 · 🎉🥳
Wait what? 50$ for speeding? LOL what a joke
As a New Yorker I can explain that $50 is the fine if caught by an automatic camera, its more if caught by a cop in-person. (Speeding caught in-person is fined hundreds of dollars and points on the license.) The camera fine should be more, the fine for not moving your car for the street sweepers is more! Also the fact he had 4 school zone violations in the same month means that both the fine is too little and also he would also totally run over a kid eventually if he stays in the city.
In a school zone at that. Just the price to speed (and kill children) if you're rich.
America must be crazy carbrained, because in Victoria, Australia, which is decently carbrained, this number of violations would have your licence revoked: https://transport.vic.gov.au/Road-rules-and-safety/Demerit-points#h2-egz05
Same in the UK, would have been an automatic driving ban already with that many occasions of speeding - no difference between a camera and a cop, they both count exactly the same.
