New York drivers who renewed their licenses during part of the coronavirus pandemic face license suspensions on starting Friday, December 1, if they don’t submit vision tests, the state Department of Motor Vehicles warned.
Nearly 51,000 drivers statewide could have their licenses suspended, according to Newsday. The DMV urged drivers to submit the tests by Dec. 1 to avoid ramifications.
Suspensions would affect drivers whose licenses expired between March 1, 2020, and Aug. 31, 2021, according to the DMV.
A pandemic-era rule allowed drivers to renew their licenses online by temporarily self-certifying their vision test requirement as most DMV offices attempted to limit crowds. Drivers were still required to eventually submit the tests.
People can take a vision test from a state-approved location or submit a vision test report form. The state-approved sites and the form are available on the DMV`s website.
Driving with a suspended license in New York can result in a ticket or fines of $200 to $500. It could also result in possible jail time of up to 30 days.
