de-blasioJust days after Mayor Bill de Blasio announced an aggressive plan to prevent traffic deaths, CBS 2 cameras caught the driver of a car carrying the mayor violating a number of traffic laws.

As CBS 2′s Marcia Kramer reported Thursday, the mayor’s two-car caravan was seen speeding, blowing through stop signs, and violating other traffic laws. Kramer reported that if the driver of the lead car, which carried the mayor in its passenger seat, would have racked up enough points to get his license suspended if he’d been ticketed.

When the mayor announced his 62-point safe streets initiative, which includes lowering the speed limit to 25 mph, he said, “We want the public to know that we are holding ourselves to this standard.”

But Kramer reported the mayor failed to practice what he preached Thursday.

CBS 2 crews found Mayor de Blasio’s cars going through a stop sign at a Queens intersection, and that wasn’t the only traffic violation caught on tape.

The safety violations came just two days after the mayor unveiled his traffic safety plan.

“We’ve put a very bold plan before you, and we want the public to know we’re are holding ourselves to this standard,” de Blasio said Tuesday.

The mayor’s two-car caravan violated speed laws and racked up other motor vehicle violations after he held a news conference in Maspeth, Queens on pothole repairs.

De Blasio even filled a pothole himself. The mayor was in the front passenger seat of the lead car, driven by a member of his security detail. But being in the front, the stop sign violations were clearly seen.

Kramer said as she followed de Blasio’s caravan, his words at the road safety press conference rang her ears.

“We hope that every time someone reads one of your stories, they’re also asking themselves the question – are they handling their vehicle as responsibly as they could?” the mayor said.

But as Kramer followed de Blasio, she saw his cars go 40 to 45 mph in a 30 mph zone, and as they passed a 45 mph sign, Kramer clocked the caravan going much faster – up to 60 mph.

  1. What a classic LIBERAL hypocrite! One set of rules for you, the hard working taxpaying honest citizen, and another set of rules for us elitists who live in our ivory tower!!!
    And DeBlasio was supposed to be for the little guy! Ha!
    Lets see him spin out of this one!

  2. 1) Putting “children” in danger by making them go to School during the last snow storm!
    2) Calling & interfering with police procedure to get his criminal buddy Pastor off the hook!
    3) Driving recklessly thru the streets of his beloved City, endangering the very people he “claims” he wants to protect!
    4) Completely deer in the headlights when it came to snow plowing the street of “all” New Yorker’s!

    This bum will soon come to realize that his cushy do nothing job as a “public advocate” LOL, was a lot cozier than “playing” Mayor!

  3. Answer to #3, He could do it because he’s a Democrat! This, to me, seems much more egregious than Christie’s misdeed at the bridge yet he will get away with it cuz he’s a Dem.
