"COVID-Era Guidelines Expire, Putting 50K NY Drivers at Risk of License Suspension"

Over 50,000 drivers in New York who renewed their licenses between March 2020 and August 2021 and self-certified their vision test during the pandemic must provide proof that their vision meets state DMV requirements by December 1st or risk having their license suspended. The affected drivers have been notified by the DMV, and there are three ways to provide proof: visiting a local vision registry, having a doctor complete a form, or visiting a DMV office for a vision screening. County officials urge affected motorists to take care of this immediately to avoid any unpleasant surprises.
