A far-left NYC councilwoman who ran for office on an anti-car-agenda and pushed a crackdown on dangerous driving is a road menace who’s racked up four speeding tickets in a little more than a year, The Post has learned.
Queens Democratic Socialist Tiffany Cabán was slapped with seven traffic tickets totaling $490 in fines and late fees since November 2022 — including four in the past 13 months for being caught on camera speeding in school zones, a review of city records shows.
The remaining summonses on the pol’s black Chevy Cruze include two for blocking fire hydrants, and another for parking in a “No Standing” zone.
“New Yorkers are tired of the self-righteous, sanctimonious, anti-public safety elected officials who push their ‘do as I say, not as I do’ agendas, demanding we abandon our cars while they drive everywhere, and flout the very laws they impose on us,” said Councilman Robert Holden, a moderate Queens Dem.
“The hypocrisy and double standards of the left is truly astounding,” he added.
While campaigning for Council in 2021, Cabán advocated converting at least 25% of all city roadways “into space for people” as part of her New York-version of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s stalled Green New Deal plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions nationwide.
Cabán, who represents Astoria and nearby neighborhoods, called on the city during the campaign to create “1,000-lane miles” of permanent car-free “Open Streets,” 500 miles of dedicated bus-only lanes and 500 miles of new bike lanes.
“We can improve living conditions for [District 22] residents by improving air quality, reducing noise pollution, encouraging social and physical activity, and increasing accessibility through transit and biking upgrades,” said Cabán in campaign literature pushing the pie-in-the-sky plan.

Can’t make this up.
Tiffany?- finished 3rd in the Washington state primary 2 years after a disappointing show for the senate seat. Being attractive doesn’t work there but being a Trump-hating rino does.Newhouse we’ll have to get behind.
cars for me but not for thee.....Tiffany is a danger zone name of course.
Typical crooked politician ... what’s good for you is not good for me.
She is simply showing by example how bad cars are.
A privileged and unassailable ruling class is the very top and bottom of socialism.
That is cheap. In Arizona a single ticket for going 1 to 9 miles over is $170.
Socialists gonna socialist. This is who they are.
Leftist hypocrisy in a nutshell.
490 dollars for 7 tickets? What was she doing? That’s only 70 dollars per infraction. In California you will be lucky to get off with only 490 dollars for 1 ticket. A speeding ticket in Oregon was 250.
