BILL NUMBER:S1698 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to leaving the scene of an incident without reporting PURPOSE: This bill amends subdivisions 1 and 2 of Section 600 of the vehicle and traffic law (VTL) in relation to leaving the scene of an incident without reporting to include operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Modifies the crime of leaving the scene of an incident without reporting when a driver is intoxicated by creating a duty to investigate when a driver knows or has reason to know that he or she has collided with anything. An intoxicated driver is presumed to know or have reason to know that he or she has made contact with a person or property. EXISTING LAW: Currently states that a person must knowingly, or have reason to know that he or she caused personal injury or property damage to be guilty of leaving the scene of an incident without reporting. JUSTIFICATION: Too often drunk drivers flee the scene of an accident to avoid being accountable for their actions. In some cases, they leave seriously injured or dying victims at the scene of impact. Current law requires that a prosecutor prove that a drunk driver
