New York state lawmakers could soon be cracking down on reckless drivers.

“I’m here because I lost my son Dariel Rivera,” Samuel Rivera told reporters during a press conference outside the Legislative Office Building in Abany Tuesday.

Like so many, Rivera is too familiar with the consequences of reckless driving.

“He was on his way to work, and he was run down by a driver,” he said.

Dariel did not survive — he was 18 years old. The driver, whose license was suspended at the time, had several traffic-related infractions on his record.

“No regard for life,” Rivera said. “He left my son dead on the road.”

These are the stories families who’ve lost a loved one to reckless driving are hoping moves the needle in Albany.

“All the tools in our toolbox are not working,” said Amy Cohen, founder and president of Families for Safe Streets.

The group is calling for the passage of the Stop Super Speeders Act.

“The beautiful thing about this particular technology is you don’t even notice it,” said Michael Travars, LifeSafer Ignition Interlock president.

The legislation would require that intelligent speed assistance, or ISA technology, be installed in vehicles driven by people who accumulate more than 11 points on their license in a 24-month period or who have received six red-light camera tickets in one year.

“It intercepts the request to accelerate from the driver of the vehicle,” Travars explained while demonstrating how the product works on Interstate 787.

The small unit prevents drivers from traveling more than five miles per hour over the posted speed limit.

Advocates see it as an economical alternative to suspending a driver’s license or impounding their vehicle — much like the ignition interlock program for DWI offenders, which costs about $150 a month.

“At the end of the program you didn’t tamper, you didn’t speed, you were trained not to speed, you got used to not speeding, you take it out of the car and you’re a good driver,” Travars said.

State leaders in Virginia and Georgia have approved a similar law. Advocates in the Empire State call it common sense.

“We need change now,” Rivera said. “Doesn’t matter if you’re jogging, on a scooter, riding a bike, walking. You should be considered as a human being.”

Andrew Gounardes, a state senator from Brooklyn, has introduced the bill which is currently being mulled over by legislators in the Senate Transportation Committee.
