New York State lawmakers are eyeing a crackdown on new drivers who violate the terms of their learners permits — a proposal that comes after a series of recent deadly collisions involving unlicensed drivers
"They are still learning. That's why it's called a learner's permit. So we should make sure that if they are putting people at risk, that we stop that from happening as quickly as possible," said New York State Senator Michael Gianaris.
Under New York State law, with few exceptions, only drivers under 18 years old can have their permits pulled before a conviction in court. "If there's reason to believe you're a dangerous driver and you're not fully licensed, they shouldn't be on the road as this is playing out," Gianaris said. The bill spells out new grounds for suspension, including: driving without a licensed driver over age 21 in the car; driving with hazardous materials; driving with more than one passenger under 21 unless a parent or driving instructor is present; and driving with anyone in the front seat other than a supervising driver.
