Bill > S00446

This bill enhances penalties for drivers who commit multiple traffic violations within a 12-month period, specifically targeting a range of moving violations such as speeding, reckless driving, and other traffic infractions. Under the proposed legislation, if a driver commits a third or subsequent violation of certain specified sections of the vehicle and traffic law within a 12-month timeframe, their driver's license will be automatically revoked for a minimum of one year, regardless of whether the violations are the same or different types of offenses. This applies to various traffic-related infractions including sections related to speed limits, reckless driving, traffic signals, and other moving violations. The law would take effect 180 days after becoming law and would apply to offenses committed on or after that date. The purpose of this bill appears to be improving road safety by imposing stricter consequences on repeat traffic offenders and creating a stronger deterrent against repeated dangerous driving behaviors.
