City sending letters to taxi drivers with several points
Eyewitness News
NEW YORK (WABC) -- New York City officials are blaming a computer glitch for not having important traffic ticket information racked up by cab drivers.
So now, it's sending letters to nearly 4,500 taxi and livery drivers, warning them their licenses could be suspended or revoked.
The problem was discovered after a cab driver with several traffic violations hit and seriously injured a tourist last month in Midtown last month.
"It was a very traumatic accident back in 2004, but since then I was able to get over it," said Christopher Sims, a Staten Island resident.
