The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog NYC.
This is why we hired Sammy Sussman! Streetsblog’s still-newish law enforcement reporter brings home the Tofurky with a story today that will blow you away: He analyzed a single month’s worth of toll evasion lawsuits brought by the Port Authority … and discovered that the same jerks who skip out on paying bridge and tunnel fees drive recklessly once they’re inside the five boroughs.
And no one is doing a damn thing to stop it.
It’s a story you’ll only see on Streetsblog.
Also, we learned the hard way that our newsletter sometimes stinks, so for the third time, here is our effort to let you see a hilarious video about oversized trucks made by Sophia Lebowitz and Henry Beebe-Center. Just click this link to enjoy.

The city’s much-anticipated program to require speed-limiting devices inside the cars of repeatedly reckless drivers will launch next year, though questions remain.
