He coulda, woulda, shoulda — but didn’t.
City Comptroller Brad Lander, who championed a law to crack down on reckless driving and once admitted “I should slow down,” was caught speeding in a school zone again.
Lander was hit with a $50 summons from a speed camera on Shore Parkway last May after he promised to improve his dismal driving record — which included eight prior tickets for speeding in school zones, city records reviewed by The Post reveal.
The former Brooklyn councilman also racked up five parking tickets since taking office as comptroller in 2022, according to records.
During his campaign for the seat in 2021, The Post revealed that Lander was hit with eight school-zone speeding tickets since 2016, even though he had publicly promoted speed cameras outside city schools and pushed legislation to crack down on unsafe driving.
Critics accused Lander of being a hypocrite and he admitted then, “I should slow down.”
He also added to his collection four tickets for parking in “No Parking Zones” during street cleaning since taking office — along 13th Street in Park Slope near his home on Oct. 29 and Oc. 31 in 2022, and July 17 and Oct. 2 of last year, records show.
The fine for the second parking violation in 2022 was for $75 and the three others were $65.
The comptroller also got socked with a $35 fine for failing to display a metered receipt while parking on Sept. 25 of last year, also on 13th Street.
Politicos who know the self-described progressive Lander said they weren’t surprised.
“It’s ‘Do as I Say,’ not ‘Do as I Do,'” said state Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar, who lives in Dyker Heights, Brooklyn. “And he’s one of the top three elected citywide officials.

Thanks JQ for exposing this hypocrite on Queens Crap !
I left NYS altogether in 2023 ....I owe $150 bucks good luck with that.
Typical, far left-leaning DemocRAT!.
Gov. Newsome, "MUST wear a mask and maintain 6-feet", until, he's caught with 18 family members at a restaurant all seated next to each other, not a mask in sight. Or, Nancy Piglosi, "All businesses MUST be remote...", until she's caught getting her hair done at a salon. Then the normal liberal response, "I have to do better." Can't wait until this November 2024 .
We're constantly told that everyone should be held to the same standard.
This fucker isn't even a NY native, goddam carpetbagger.
THE RISE OF WEAK MEN said...
Men like him today are weaker than ever, not just physically but emotionally and mentally too.
That hairline!
The hypocrisy in NY is staggering.
