Summary

The NY DMV DS-3.6 form, titled Employee Driving History, is a legal document mandated by New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law Section 509-m(7) for the regulation of bus drivers. It serves as a standardized tool for current or former employers to provide objective driving history data to prospective or subsequent employers. The form requires the disclosure of specific employment details, including the individual's name, title, dates of service, types of vehicles driven, and weekly driving hours.

Critically, the document functions as a comprehensive safety record, requiring employers to report whether the driver has any convictions for driving-related offenses, involvements in reportable accidents, or history of license disqualifications, suspensions, or revocations. It also tracks disciplinary actions taken by previous employers resulting from driving offenses. To facilitate the legal transfer of this sensitive information, the form includes a signed authorization and liability release from the employee, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations while maintaining oversight of commercial driver qualifications.

Pro Tip: To avoid common DMV issues and potential license suspension, ensure you report any address changes within ten days, surrender your license plates before canceling auto insurance, and resolve all traffic tickets and fees promptly. When registering a vehicle, double-check that all paperwork is complete and that names and Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) match your identification exactly to prevent application rejection. Additionally, always come to a complete stop at stop signs and use turn signals at least 100 feet in advance during driving tests to ensure success.
