Axel Pablo
The violations include things like "failure to stop at a stop sign and blowing a red light" "disobeying a 'traffic device." The Taxi and Limousine Commission only realized this during a review of all taxi, livery and black car drivers, according to the Daily News: "It discovered 2,400 TLC-licensed drivers have state records warranting TLC hearings that could lead to license suspension or revocation."
While Alam's license could have been suspended after a June 1 infraction, the TLC said, "Given the typical time frame for the hearing and appeal processes, it is likely that Mr. Alam's TLC license would not have been revoked before the fatal accident," but added it would "put in place new measures to speed the process up and complete license checks more frequently, so drivers with accrued points are taken off the road faster." The TLC is currently (finally?) moving to revoke Alam's license; the Post says the hearings and appeals process, during which drivers can still be on the road, can take up to three years on average.





The cuteness of that picture makes this whole incident so much more freaking heart-wrenching
do you know how hard it is to actually get a moving violation in new york?!
Seriously. That is a huge number of violations.
Why wasn't he charged with involuntary manslaughter or reckless endangerment? This man should be in jail. As Dominick Dunne was quoted in the other article: "I’m sick of being asked to weep for killers. We’ve lost our sense of outrage."
That would require additional paperwork on the part of the NYPD, and maybe some more investigating on the part of the DA's office. And it's summertime - you don't want these guys to work too hard now do you?
I can't even look at this boys picture, it breaks my heart.
Way to go Post. Only you could manage to misquote the law.
For clarification, after obtaining 11 or more points on your license, you're subject to a DMV hearing, at which it will be determined whether or not you are subjected to a suspension or revocation of your privileges.
They don't just automatically suspend at 11 points.
The city needs to do something about cabbies in general. They are the worst offenders on the road. Axel Pablo shouldn't have had to die.
Can we please stick to the important issues? Did you guys know that bicyclists run red lights?!?
