(DNAINFO) Katie Honan | April 8, 2016 — Drivers who get five or more camera violation tickets in a year could lose the registration to their car for up to six months under a new bill pushed in the assembly, part of a package that aims to increase pedestrian safety.

The bill, sponsored by Assemblyman Michael DenDekker, would increase penalties against drivers and car owners who run a red light or speed — upping the consequences from the current ticketing system, the assemblyman said.

The current system of sending a $50 ticket in the mail when a driver goes through a red light, speed or bus lane camera “doesn’t stop the owner to continually break the law,” he said.

Under the bill, the owner of the car would lose his or her registration for six months, regardless of who was driving when the tickets were issued.
