Before leaving the scene of an accident, what must a FHV Driver provide?

The requirement for a For-Hire Vehicle (FHV) driver to provide their name, TLC license number, and insurance information before leaving the scene of an accident is crucial for several reasons. This information serves to establish the identity of the driver and provides essential details that ensure accountability and transparency in the aftermath of the accident.

When a vehicular accident occurs, it is important for all parties involved to exchange relevant information to facilitate insurance claims and any potential legal actions. The TLC (Taxi and Limousine Commission) license number uniquely identifies the driver within New York's regulatory framework, confirming that they are operating legally and within the guidelines set forth for professional drivers. Additionally, sharing insurance information is critical as it enables the other party to contact the driver's insurance provider to address damages or injuries that may have resulted from the incident.

Understanding and following these procedures help uphold the responsibilities of drivers in the transportation industry, promoting a safer environment for both drivers and passengers, while also ensuring that all parties have the necessary information to proceed with claims adjustments or investigations.
