The changes, introduced as part of Governor Kathy Hochul's broader push to crack down on dangerous driving, are designed to make it easier for the state to identify repeat offenders and pull risky drivers off the road. The big headline? Points will linger longer-and you'll need fewer of them to trigger a suspension review. Under the new rules, the suspension threshold drops from 11 points to 10, meaning the margin for error just got slimmer.

The sudden closure derailed his career plans. A trucking job was a path forward, he said, a way to earn a better living than his current rotation of gig jobs, such as putting up blinds and detailing cars.

For three decades, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has been smashing vehicles with an adult-sized dummy sitting in the front seat, simulating a type of head-on collision where two vehicles are slightly offset. It's always been a challenging test, above and beyond the minimum standards that car companies are legally required to meet. The IIHS conducts tests and independently awards safety ratings that are meant to reward companies for superior safety, well exceeding minimum standards.
