    The final legislation includes carve-outs for several classes of drivers. Vehicles owned and operated by the state, city, public agencies or political subdivisions are exempt

    I’m fine with police, fire and ambulance not being covered by the law. But there are also cars for various public officials, and I think those should be covered.

    joining all vehicles regulated by the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission.

    Uh, what? No. Taxis are already dangerous enough!

    Commercial vehicles that are regularly used by two or more drivers are also exempt.

    No, it should be all vehicles the person has regular access to. If that inconveniences the guy’s coworkers, then the guy can just live with the public shame of having zipped through school zones 16 times in a year.

    drivers will also have to install the devices on all vehicles registered under their name, which would prevent the abuse of family cars or similar arrangements

    No it doesn’t. The governors should be installed on all cars in a household, not just one person’s name.
