Bill > S00760

This bill amends the Vehicle and Traffic Law to prohibit reckless driving in parking lots. The key provisions include: 1. Expanding the definition of "reckless driving" to include driving in a manner that unreasonably interferes with the free and proper use of a parking lot or unreasonably endangers users of a parking lot. 2. Defining "parking lot" as any area of private property, including a driveway, near or contiguous to and provided in connection with premises and used as a means of access to and egress from a public highway to such premises and having a capacity for the parking of four or more motor vehicles, but excluding areas of private property comprising all or part of property on which is situated a one or two-family residence. 3. Imposing criminal penalties for violating the prohibition on reckless driving in parking lots. The bill aims to address reckless driving behavior in parking lots, which can endanger both pedestrians and other drivers, and provides a legal framework to address such issues.
