Ask undecided Bay Area legislators to vote YES on SB 961, the lifesaving speed technology bill
SB 961 is common sense, lifesaving legislation by Senator Scott Wiener that would require all cars and trucks manufactured or sold in California starting in 2030 to give an audio and visual alert to drivers when they’re going more than 10 MPH above the speed limit.
SB 961 was passed by the full California Senate and now faces a full California Assembly vote likely on Monday, August 19.
