Capizzi v. DOT – Cmwlth. Court – June 23,
2016
As a general rule, delays in reporting
driving convictions to DOT do not negate a license suspension, unless a) the
delays are chargeable to DOT and b) the delay results in prejudice to the
driver. However, a suspension can be
negated where the delay is extraordinarily long (e.g. seven or eight years) and
results in prejudice, even if the delay is attributable to the clerk of courts,
rather than DOT. See, Gingrich v. Department of
Transp., Bureau of Driver Licensing, 134 A.3d 528 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2016).
