These 12 drivers have hundreds of citations and $35K in fines just in Baltimore. Imagine how many they have in the rest of Maryland, Delaware and Virginia.

Jeff Rogers survived a severe crash in 2015 that left him with a traumatic brain injury and required months of hospitalization and rehabilitation.

Ayden Stockstill was 14 and on his way to soccer when his family's truck was hit by a speeding driver head on going 100 mph. He did not survive.

Reckless driving is not a joke. The suffering it causes is real and incalculable. We owe it to people like this to do better. www.wlox.com/2025/12/09/h...

If only we had better public transportation options, it would be more reasonable to simply tell more dipshits they aren't allowed to drive at all.

Boy, bad drivers who endanger others (by speeding) really like to tell on themselves online.

People's freedom to arrive at their designation safely should trump people's "freedom" to drive dangerously.

β€˜Slaughter in our roads’: Family grieves the loss of sheriff radar bill Concerns of speed traps and government overreach have led legislators to block similar radar bills for years.

He was 13 years old, named Ayden and on his way to soccer try outs if it wasn't bad enough already.

In case you were wondering what a car looks like when it is struck head on at 100 mph... 😑

One of our member's grandsons was killed when this happened to his family, even though the boy was buckled in the back seat. Didn't stand a chance

This is what we're trying to prevent w #StopSuperSpeeders

Very proud that our CB6 transportation committee passed a resolution in support of a district-wide 20 mph slow zone and a broader application of 20 mph limits citywide. Goes to the full board next month. Thx @familiesforsafestreets.org for coming to speak about this important safety measure.

Problem is just taking their license away doesn't guarantee they won't drive. 75% continue to drive illegally

Sounds like a perfect candidate for #StopSuperSpeeders (legislation which would allow judges to require drivers like this to install speed limiting devices in their cars)
