An Act promoting motor vehicle safety

This Massachusetts bill amends state laws to increase penalties for drivers classified as habitual traffic offenders. It raises the threshold for the most severe penalty tier, Level 3, from four offenses to five, while also adjusting the criteria for the Level 2 category. Under the new rules, drivers who have not had their licenses restored for over five years and commit certain serious driving violations or accumulate multiple reportable offenses will face license revocations lasting at least five years, up to life, and must complete a driver improvement course before reinstatement. The legislation directly affects individuals with prior driving records and the Registrar of Motor Vehicles, who will enforce these stricter revocation periods and course requirements.
