Hearing
Procedures at DMV hearings differ from re-examinations in that the motorist has more rights and DMV may impose appropriate sanctions.
Rights
- Right to subpena witnesses and evidence
- Right to present evidence
- Right to "appeal" adverse decisions
Sanctions
- Probation
- Limited or restricted license
- Limited to daytime hours
- Limited to certain activities
- Limited to specific routes
- Limited to non-freeway driving
- Suspension or Revocation
Evidence at the hearing may include the driver record printout. Convictions that appear on the record may only be challenged with court records indicating the printout is incorrect. However, accidents that appear on the record may be challenged as erroneous or to establish non-fault without resort to court records.
Confidential information may be given to DMV by citizens, friends or doctors. DMV is not supposed to use this information as a basis for a decision but can use it to question the motorist.
Note: If DMV introduces new evidence that has not been previously provided to you, you should request time in private to examine the evidence and, if necessary, a continuance of the hearing to another date to allow you to prepare a response to it. |
