De Blasio SUV broke traffic laws after safety push

Mayor de Blasio’s SUV was caught on camera speeding through Queens and blowing through two stop signs Thursday — just two days after he announced a sweeping street-safety plan.

The mayor — who was riding shotgun on the way back to City Hall from a pothole-filling photo op — was twice clocked going 15 mph over the speed limit by a WCBS/Channel 2 news crew.

The two-car caravan also ran past two stop signs without even tapping the brakes and changed highway lanes without signaling, the CBS video shows.

De Blasio’s wild ride came after his pledge to personally abide by his “Vision Zero” proposals, which aim to entirely eliminate traffic deaths in the city by 2024 with measures that include a 25 mph speed limit.

The violations racked up by de Blasio’s driver would have cost anyone else their license on the DMV’s point-penalty system.

Mass hypnosis. Maybe swine flu. Maybe swine hypnosis. When you see him, don’t you hate him? I do. I look at him, and I want to see him covered with wood veneer and thrown into a cage of wild woodpeckers.

I like your swine hypnosis theory; and yes, I DO hate him. He is a truly useless person, except possibly to serve as an example to others as to how to be a useless person.

He is so completely and utterly useless that he makes other useless people seem indispensable by comparison.

Wow...you cannot make this crap up...

Completely eliminate traffic deaths....sorry that is a fantasy.....

You can make it 5 mph and some yahoo will still run off a bridge, hit a pole,

Only someone as stupid as a libtard thinks this is possible...

Was DeBlasio driving? No? Then ticket the driver and be done with it.

“The mayor — who vowed a transparent administration — routinely holds secret meetings and keeps events hidden from his public schedule.

Like all of his ilk, he fears assassination, thus all the secrecy along with the security.

Apparently it was discovered a NYPD Officer was driving, and following some undisclosed security protocol.

The supposedly ran the stop signs for “security” reasons. They never even hit the brakes to slow down and blew thru at probably 20-30 MPH. Luckily they didn’t kill any pedestrians this time.
