New York's distracted driving law makes texting while driving a primary traffic offense, giving police officers the power to stop drivers for this offense alone.
MVRs Miss Many Red-Light Camera Infractions
Leased vehicles are registered in the lessor's name. As a consequence, some drivers with multiple red-light camera violations may go undetected by corporate safety and HR departments. Since a red-light camera violation is charged to the lessor - the registered owner of the vehicle - in many states, it won't appear on the driver's MVR. Because it is likely that red-light camera infractions won't appear on an MVR, an employer won't know they occurred if only relying on MVR violation history.
