Question of Fact Whether Licensed Driver Properly Supervised Young Driver with a Learner’s Permit

In an automobile collision case, the Second Department determined defendant’s motion for summary judgment was properly denied because a question of fact had been raised about whether defendant properly supervised the young driver who held a learner’s permit. The court explained the relevant law:

The learner-driver with a permit “may only operate a motor vehicle while under the immediate supervision and control of a duly licensed driver” (…see Vehicle and Traffic Law § 502[5][a][ii]). A licensed driver “is under a duty to use general or reasonable care in the instruction and supervision of the learner-driver” …, and also must “take necessary measures to prevent negligence on the part of the driver with the learner’s permit” … . Mejia v Kennedy, 2015 NY Slip Op 00504, 2nd Dept 1-21-15
