Washington State mandates GPS speed limiters for drivers with suspended licenses due to reckless driving, aiming to curb the 34% of road fatalities linked to speeding. Offenders can either serve their suspension or install Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) devices to resume driving immediately.

This initiative mirrors Virginia's 2026 law requiring speed limiters for those exceeding 100 mph. Critics argue it infringes on personal freedom, while supporters highlight its potential to reduce repeat offenses. As one official noted, 'ISA devices could help manage excessive speeding behavior.'

In 2023, speeding contributed to 34% of Washington's 731 road fatalities, prompting the state to implement GPS speed limiters for high-risk drivers.
