Gov. Hochul signs law to curb reckless driving in parking lots, celebrated by Queens officials and civic leaders

Last week, Gov. Kathy Hochul signed legislation to combat reckless driving in parking lots, a longstanding noise and public safety issue for many eastern Queens residents.

Elected officials and civic leaders gathered in the Holy Family Catholic Church parking lot in Fresh Meadows on Tuesday morning to celebrate. All around them, tire skid marks on the ground served as evidence that drivers had been performing donut maneuvers there.
