Section 506. Reexamination of licensees  


Latest version.
  • 1.  If  the  commissioner  has
      reasonable grounds to believe that a person  holding  a  license  issued
      pursuant  to this article is not qualified to drive a motor vehicle, the
      commissioner may require such person to  submit  to  an  examination  to
      determine his qualifications.
        2.  The commissioner may require every person holding a license issued
      pursuant to this article to submit to such an examination  as  shall  be
      determined  by him to be appropriate if such person has been involved in
      three accidents while driving a motor vehicle  or  motorcycle  within  a
      period  of  eighteen  months,  if  such  accidents  were  required to be
      reported by section six hundred five of this chapter.
        3. If the licensee satisfactorily  passes  any  such  examination,  he
      shall  be  so informed and his license shall continue to be valid. If he
      fails to pass, the commissioner shall take such reasonable action as may
      be required.  Such action may consist of imposing  restrictions  on  the
      use  of  the  license  of  such person, in suspending such license for a
      definite or indefinite period, or in revoking such license. If any  such
      person  fails  after  reasonable  notice  or  refuses  to  submit  to an
      examination, the commissioner may revoke his license or suspend  it  for
      an indefinite period solely because of such failure or refusal.
        4.  Any  person  holding a license issued pursuant to this chapter who
      suffers permanent loss of use of one or both hands or arms or of one  or
      both  feet or legs, or one eye shall, before operating any motor vehicle
      or motorcycle make report thereof to the commissioner,  who  shall  take
      such  reasonable  action  as  may be proper under the provisions of this
      section.
        5. Upon the permanent loss of use of both eyes a license issued  under
      this article shall be null and void.
