N.Y. Vehicle & Traffic Law § 509-e: Annual review of driving record

§ 509-e. Annual review of driving record. Each motor carrier shall, at

least once every twelve months, review the driving record of each bus

driver it employs to determine whether that driver meets minimum

requirements for safe driving and is qualified to drive a bus pursuant

to section five hundred nine-b of this article. In reviewing a driving

record, the motor carrier must consider any evidence that the bus driver

has violated applicable provisions of the vehicle and traffic law. The

motor carrier must also consider the driver's accident record and any

evidence that the driver has violated laws governing the operation of

motor vehicles, such as speeding, reckless driving, and operating while

under the influence of alcohol or drugs, that indicate that the driver

has exhibited a disregard for the safety of the public. Such information

shall be recorded in the employer's record.
