The council member and commissioner discuss whether New York City's unique driving conditions warrant higher required insurance coverage. Commissioner Do provides a measured response.
- Do acknowledges that TLC drivers in NYC are typically full-time drivers, unlike in other jurisdictions.
- The commissioner suggests that the full-time nature of NYC TLC drivers might necessitate additional coverage requirements.
- He notes that TLC vehicles operate on the roadways for longer periods compared to average vehicles, which could justify different insurance needs.

And so there might need to be, additional, coverage requirements for vehicles that operate on the roadways a little bit longer.
