This bill prevents drivers from obtaining a new license after being twice convicted of specific driving violations that caused physical injury. It directly affects individuals convicted twice of offenses like DUI, reckless driving, or impaired driving under New York law, where physical injury occurred in both incidents. The law amends vehicle and traffic law to automatically block relicensing in these cases, requiring injury to have resulted from each offense. The provision applies to violations listed in Vehicle and Traffic Law §1192 or related penal law sections (e.g., §120.03, §125.12).
