(a) A slow-moving
				  vehicle is a vehicle as defined in section 159  of the Vehicle and Traffic Law which is
				  designed to have a maximum travel speed of 25 miles per hour or less. The short
				  form of designation of such a vehicle shall be "SMV".

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
The SMV emblem shall consist of a fluorescent yellow-orange
					 triangle with a dark red reflective border. The yellow-orange fluorescent
					 triangle is for daylight identification. The reflective border defines the
					 shape of the fluorescent color in daylight and becomes a hollow red triangle in
					 the path of motor vehicle headlights at night. The emblem shall meet the
					 following specifications:
(a)
Size.
The dimensions shall be as shown in Figure 1 below.

(b)
Visibility.
The SMV emblem shall be entirely visible in daylight and at
					 night from all distances between 600 and 100 feet from the rear when directly
					 in front of lawful upper beam of headlights. The operator and/or owner of a
					 slow-moving vehicle shall exercise due care in the maintenance and cleaning of
					 the emblem to assure it being plainly visible.
(c)
Color and reflectivity.
(1) The spectrophotometric color values of
				  the yellow-orange fluorescent material shall have a dominant wave length of
				  590-610 millimicrons and a purity of 98 percent before test. After durability
				  test, (section
				  68.4[b]), the
				  dominant wave length of the fluorescent material shall not change more than 10
				  percent.
(2) The reflective
				  material shall have minimum luminance values at each of the angles listed per
				  table 1.

					 ± 5 square inches (322.6, ±32.3 square centimeters) of reflective
					 material. The maximum dimension of the test surface shall not be greater than
					 1.5 times the minimum dimension. The reflective intensity (R) is computed from
					 the equation.

					 determining when an identification number is destroyed, removed, altered,
					 defaced or effectively concealed and deciding the steps to be followed in
					 notifying a true owner of the recovery of a stolen vehicle or
					 part.
New York Codes, Rules and Regulations › Title 15 - Department of Motor Vehicles › Chapter I - REGULATIONS OF THE COMMISSIONER › Subchapter E - Required Markings Or Signs › Part 71 - Identification Numbers › Section 71.2 - Definitions

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) Destroyed,
				  removed, altered, defaced or so covered as to be effectually concealed shall
				  mean that there has been disfiguration, obliteration of detail, or change in
				  the outline or contour, to such an extent that the number has been rendered
				  undecipherable or a plate or device upon which such number or identifying mark
				  was contained has been taken from the vehicle or part.
(b) Unidentifiable. A motor vehicle, trailer
				  or vehicle part shall be considered to be unidentifiable when peace officers of
				  the Department of Motor Vehicles are unable to locate and ascertain the
				  original identification number or the special identification number in its
				  assigned location after using acceptable methods for cleaning the specific
				  areas involved, and using scientific procedures utilizing heat, chemicals, etc.
				  in the restoration of numbers. A motor vehicle, trailer or vehicle part shall
				  not be considered unidentifiable if it is determined that no original
				  identification number or special identification number was ever embossed,
				  engraved, etched or similarly marked by the manufacturer, or by any authorized
				  agent of any state or commonwealth. A motor vehicle, trailer or vehicle part
				  shall not be considered unidentifiable if the previous owner or current owner
				  can identify the motor vehicle, trailer or vehicle part by personal
				  identification. This in itself would not constitute ownership, but would serve
				  as a basis for further investigation.

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
Upon application of the owner, the commissioner shall cause
					 an examination of a vehicle to be had. If the vehicle is not stolen, and does

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) If a vehicle bears no vehicle
				  identification number, or an altered, defaced or effectively concealed vehicle
				  identification number, the agents of the commissioner shall attempt to
				  determine the true vehicle identification number from the confidential
				  identification numbers. If the true number cannot be determined, the vehicle
				  shall be declared unidentifiable. An unidentifiable vehicle shall be impounded
				  and turned over to the Office of General Services.
(b) If a major component part of a vehicle is
				  unidentifiable, the Department of Motor Vehicles shall remove or cause removal
				  of the part and turn it over to the Office of General Services.
(c) If an examination of a part reveals that
				  it is stolen, the vehicle shall be impounded. The vehicle owner shall be given
				  two weeks to acquire ownership of the part from the part owner. If the vehicle
				  owner is unable to acquire ownership of the part, the Department of Motor
				  Vehicles shall remove or cause removal of the part. The part will be returned
				  to the part owner upon his picking up the removed part and paying a removal and
				  storage fee in an amount determined by the Commissioner of General Services.
				  The vehicle owner may remove the remainder of the vehicle.

				  either directly or indirectly, to learn the name and address of the owner. If
				  this procedure is unsuccessful, but the vehicle has number plates, the police
				  shall inquire of the motor vehicle registration agency of the state which
				  issued the plates.
(b) Upon
				  learning the name and address of the true owner of a vehicle, the police shall
				  send such person a letter informing him of the location of his vehicle and
				  advising him that he may either claim it within 20 days or within 20 days after
				  it is no longer needed as evidence.
(c) Upon failure of a person to claim his
				  vehicle, the police shall dispose of the vehicle in accordance with section 423-a  of the Vehicle and Traffic
				  Law.
