From Opening a Driving School (MV-299.2):
"A driving school is defined as the business of giving instruction for hire in driving motor vehicles or motorcycles. Section 394 of the Vehicle and Traffic Law (VTL) provides the legal authority for driving schools and driving school instructors: 'No person shall engage in the business of conducting a driver’s school without being the holder of a license for such purpose issued by the Commissioner' (see form MV-299.1). Part 76 of the Commissioner’s Regulations (form CR-76) provides specific guidelines about licensing driving schools and certifying instructors."
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter.
I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Sumana Harihareswara
