Relating to revoked or suspended driver’s lisence
HB 3335 amends West Virginia law to automatically declare drivers with suspended or revoked licenses at fault for any automobile accident they are involved in. This directly affects drivers whose licenses have been suspended or revoked, making them liable for all resulting injuries or property damage without requiring proof of negligence. The key provision adds that such drivers violate §17B-4-3 of the code and are considered at fault for the accident. The bill shifts fault determination solely based on license status, changing how liability is assessed in collision cases. (Bill text: §55-7-9(b), introduced March 13, 2025).
