BILL NUMBER:S1497

Title of bill

An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle in the second degree

Purpose

This legislation would increase safety on our State's roadways by making it easier to prosecute persons who repeatedly violate the aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle.

Summary of provisions

Section 511 (2)(a)(iv) of the Vehicle and Traffic Law, which is an element of aggravated unlicensed operation in the second degree, is amended to require two or more suspensions for failure to answer, appear, or pay a fine rather than three or more separate suspensions.

Justification

Under this legislation a person may be prosecuted for aggravated unlicensed operation in the second degree when such person has two or more suspensions for failure to answer, appear, or pay a fine. Under current law the person must have had three such suspensions to be prosecuted for aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle in the second degree. The dangers posed by unlicensed drivers to pedestrians and other motorists in New York State are well documented. Numerous deaths have been caused by these drivers.
