Mayor de Blasio calls for three changes in state law to help keep dangerous drivers off the road. The proposal a reaction to a crash in Brooklyn that killed a four-year-old and a one-year-old. NY1's Michael Herzenberg reports.

"Change can come in Albany and we’re going to need their help to protect more kids," de Blasio said.

The mayor unveiled a wish list for state lawmakers Thursday — proposals to improve traffic safety after two children were struck and killed by a driver at a Park Slope intersection last week.

"We want to use every tool possible to protect our children and to stop these crashes," the mayor said.

Police say Dorothy Bruns has multiple sclerosis and suffered a seizure when she drove into the children. Police also said her car had received eight summonses for speeding or running red lights in school zones.

One of de Blasio's proposals would make doctors notify the DMV of patients with medical conditions that can cause seizures, or loss of consciousness or control of motor skills.

He also wants the state to hike the $50 fine for speeding and red light violations caught on camera to $150 for a third offense in two years, $250 for a fourth, notification of a car's insurer for a fifth offense, and suspension of the vehicle's registration for a sixth violation.

"If you once in a blue moon have a violation that’s one thing," the mayor said. "But if a behavior is repeated and it’s in a sharp time frame it makes very clear you’re not a responsible person and you have a deadly weapon in your hands and you’re using it recklessly."

The proposal is designed to a narrow a gap in the law which now results in stiffer penalties for drivers caught by cops speeding or running red lights — than for cars caught on camera committing the same violations.

The mayor also called for legislation that would expand the use of school zone speed cameras.

"If our proposal passes it will allow us to go to any intersection near a school that might pose a danger and put the speed cameras in," the mayor said.

The mayor has had to turn to state lawmakers on street safety before.  In 2014, they lowered the default city speed limit from 30 to 25 miles per hour as part of deBlasio’s Vision Zero.

Traffic fatalities are down for four years in a row, 2017 had the fewest in more than a century.
