N.Y. Transportation Law § 212: Records

§ 212. Records. Every driver of a motor truck or motor bus shall keep

and carry on the vehicle records showing the day and hour when and the

place where he went and was released from duty, whether in this state or

outside of this state. The commissioner shall prescribe the form of such

records and may require such other information to be shown thereon as he

shall deem advisable to insure the proper enforcement of this article.

Such records shall be exhibited to the commissioner, his

representatives, or to any peace officer, acting pursuant to his special

duties or police officer who shall demand to see the same and shall be

held available for further inspection for a period of sixty days within

the state of New York in an office designated by the owner. Failure to

produce such records upon demand shall be presumptive evidence of a

violation of this article relating to keeping such records. In any

prosecution for the violation of any of the provisions of this article

such records shall be prima facie evidence of the truth of the contents

thereof.
