COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA,

IN THE COURT OF COMMMON PLEAS
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
v.
NO.
DAVID C. WAGNER,
Petitioner/Defendant
CIVIL ACTION - LAW
PETITION TO APPEAL LICENSE SUSPENSION NUNC PRO TUNC
To The Honorable Judges of this Said Court:
AND NOW, comes the Petitioner, David C. Wagner, by and through
his attorneys, Pannebaker and Jones, P.C., and respectfully
represents as follows:
1. The Petitioner/Defendant, David C. Wagner, is an adult
individual who currently resides at 310 Para Avenue, Hershey,
Dauphin County, Pennsylvania 17033.
2, The Petitioner is the owner of a 1991 Jeep Cherokee, with
VIN 1J4FJ58S1ML622504 and automobile insurance LPA 799225605.
3. The Petitioner's vehicle was insured by Integon Insurance, a
division of Geico Insurance, Co., located at 500 W. 5th Street, PO
Box 3199, Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27102.
4. The Defendant's insurance was effective from March 13, 1996
through September 13, 1998 without a lapse in coverage, from
September 28, 1998, through the present without a lapse in coverage,
--'" --
",
~ -.
. - !.
~
~
See copies of the November 30, 1999 letter and the November 29, 1999
letter from Tammy Tyson, a customer service representative from
Integon Insurance and the November 17, 1999 letter from Melinda
Davis, a customer service representative at Geico, attached hereto
and marked as Exhibits "A," "B," and "C," respectively.
5. There was a sixteen (16) day lapse in coverage in
Petitioner's insurance policy from September 13, 1998 through
September 28, 1998.
6. Under 17 Pa.C.S.A. ~1786(a) and (d) (i) of the Pennsylvania
Motor Vehicle Code for Financial Responsibility, every vehicle must
be covered by insurance, and the Department of Tran~portation shall
suspend a vehicle registration for three (3) months if a driver
fails to have the required financial responsibility for a period of
more than thirty (30) days and the owner did not operate the vehicle
during that lapse in financial responsibility.
7. The petitioner was unaware of the lapse in his motor vehicle
insurance coverage and supposed suspension of registration by the
department until he was stopped by the police on November 17, 1999,
as a result of an expired inspection sticker on his Jeep Cherokee.
The Petitioner was given citations for his expired inspection
sticker, driving without insurance coverage, and driving with a
~,
-,
suspended registration. See copies of the Citations attached hereto
and marked as Exhibits "D," "E," and "F," respectively.
8. The Petitioner pled guilty to a violation of 75 Pa.C.S.A.
~1786 and 72 Pa.C.S.A. ~1371 of the Motor Vehicle Code, not knowing
the consequences of his guilty plea, as he was unrepresented by
counsel, and the time period to pay his fines was rapidly
approaching.
9. At the time of the notice of Petitioner's license suspension
to which he filed a timely appeal, the appeal period for his
underlying conviction under 75 Pa.C.S,A. ~1786 for the lapse in
insurance coverage had expired, and he had not yet received the
paperwork from his insurance companies regarding proof that the
temporary lapse in coverage was for less than thirty (30) days.
10. The Petitioner filed a timely license suspension appeal in
Dauphin County, and by Order dated February 28, 2000, Judge Scott
Evans stayed the suspension pending a hearing, which was continued
and rescheduled for June 1, 2000. See copies of the Petition and
Orders attached hereto and marked as Exhibits "G," "H," and "I"
respectively.
11. The Petitioner's conduct was non-negligent under the
circumstances.
..--!
.~ -..
.- , -
12. The Commonwealth would not be prejudiced if the
Petitioner's conviction of driving with an expired registration is
appealed based on his temporary lapse in insurance coverage since it
was less than the statutory requirement of more than thirty (30)
days under 75 Pa.C.S.A. ~1786 and he would not have been convicted
of such violations.
13. Further, since the Petitioner's lapse in insurance coverage
was only sixteen (16) days, which is less than the statutory
requirement of more than thirty (30) days under ~1786, this Section
is not applicable, Petitioner's license was improperly suspended for
three (3) months, despite his guilty plea to a charge that he could
not have been convicted of.
14. Further, the petitioner did not violate 72 Pa.C.S.A. ~1371
of the Motor Vehicle Code, which provides for a suspension or
revocation of a driver's license if the individual drives while the
registration was suspended because Petitioner's registration was
improperly suspended under ~1786.
WHEREFORE, the Petitioner prays this Honorable Court to grant
the relief requested and granting the Petition to Appeal License
Suspension Nunc Pro Tunc.

DAVID C. WAGNER
Defendant
CIVIL ACTION - LAW
PETITION TO APPEAL LICENSE SUSPENSION
AND NOW, comes the Defendant, David C. Wagner, by and
through his attorneys, pannebaker and Jones,
P.C. ,
and
petitions this Court as follows:
1. The Defendant, David C. Wagner, is an adult individual
who currently resides at 310 Para Avenue, Hershey, Dauphin
County, Pennsylvania 17033.
2. The Defendant is the owner of a 1991 Jeep Cherokee, with
VIN 1J4FJS8S1ML622504 and automobile insurance LPA 799225605.
3. The Defendant's vehicle is/was insured by Integon
Insurance, a division of Geico Insurance, Co., located at 500
West Fifth Street, PO Box 3199, Winston-Salem, North Carolina
27102-3199.
4. The Defendant's insurance was effective from March 13,
1996 through September 13, 1998 without a lapse in coverage,
~ > '" '
c, I"~'
, ,
~, ,
, ~
and it is his current policy. See a copy of the November 30,
1999 letter from Tammy Tyson, a customer service
representative for Integon, attached hereto and marked as
Exhibit "A."
5. The Defendant's insurance was also effective
from
September 28, 1998 through November 10, 1998 and there were
no lapses in coverage. See a copy of the November 29, 1999
letter by Tammy Tyson, a custvmer service representative from
Integon Insurance, attached hereto and marked as Exhibit "B."
6. The Defendant's insurance was also effective from
September 17, 1999 to the present, and the coverage was
continuous. See a copy of the November 17, 1999 letter from
Melinda Davis, a Customer Service Representative at Geico,
attached hereto and marked as Exhibit "C."
7. There was a sixteen (16) day lapse in coverage from
September 13, 1998 through September 28, 1998.
8. 75 Pa.C.S.A. ~1786(a) under the Pennsylvania Motor
Vehicle Code for financial responsibility requires that every
vehicle be registered under that title and be covered by
financial responsibility. Further, U 786 (d) (1) provides that
!. ~"'1'"
"
,
"the
Department
of
Transportation
shall
suspend
the
registration of a vehicle for a period of three (3) months if
it determines the required financial responsibility was not
secured as required by this chapter and shall suspend the
operating privilege of the owner or registrant for a period
of three (3) months if the Department determines that the
owner or registrant has operated or permitted the operation
of a vehicle without the required financial responsibility."
However the subsection does not apply when:
1, "The owner or registrant proves to the satisfaction
of the Department that the lapse in financial
responsibility coverage was for a period of less
than thirty (31) days and that the owner or
registrant did not operate or permit the operation
of the vehicle during the period of lapse in
financial responsibility."
9. The Defendant was unaware of the lapse in his motor
vehicle insurance coverage, until he was stopped by the
police on November 17, 1999 as a result of an expired
inspection sticker on his Jeep Cherokee.
-~ ,~.- ~
""-
~ c__-
,~~-.
.
10. Since the Defendant's lapse in insurance company was
less than the statutory requirement of thirty (30) days,
U786
is not applicable,
and Defendant's
license was
improperly suspended for three (3) months.
11. Further, the Defendant did not violate 72 Pa.C.S.A.
~1371 of the Motor Vehicle Code which provides for a
suspension or revocation of a driver's license if the
individual drives while the registration was suspended
because Defendant's registration was improperly suspended.
12. The suspension should be stayed pending the Appeal.
WHEREFORE, the Defendant prays this Honorable Court to
grant the relief requested and stay the suspension pending
the Appeal.
Respectfully submitted,
Pannebaker and Jones, P.C.

Petitioner/Defendant
CIVIL ACTION - LAW
PETITION TO APPEAL LICENSE SUSPENSION NUNC PRO TUNC
To The Honorable Judges of this Said Court:
AND NOW, comes the Petitioner, David C. Wagner, by and through
his attorneys, pannebaker and Jones, P.C., and respectfully
represents as follows:
1. The Petitioner/Defendant, David C. Wagner, is an adult
individual who currently resides at 310 Para Avenue, Hershey,
Dauphin Cou~ty, Pennsylvania 17033.
2. The Petitioner is the owner of a 1991 Jeep Cherokee, with
VIN 1J4FJ58S1ML622504 and automobile insurance LPA 799225605.
3. The Petitioner's vehicle was insured by Integon Insurance, a
division of Geico Insurance, Co., located at 500 W. 5th Street, PO
Box 3199, Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27102.
4. The Defendant's insurance was effective from March 13, 1996
through September 13, 1998 without a lapse in coverage, from
September 28, 1998, through the present without a lapse in coverage.
., I f<4o ~,; ~l:IO
,1"
.
~ ~"'
See copies of the November 30, 1999 letter and the November 29, 1999
letter from Tammy Tyson, a customer service representative from
Integon Insurance and the November 17, 1999 letter from Melinda
Davis, a customer service representative at Geico, attached hereto
and marked as Exhibits UA," UB," and UC," respectively.
5. There was a sixteen (16) day lapse in coverage in
Petitioner's insurance policy from September 13, 1998 through
September 28, 1998.
6, Under 17 Pa.C.S.A, ~1786(a) and (d) (i) of the Pennsylvania
Motor Vehicle Code for Financial Responsibility, every vehicle must
be covered by insurance, and the Department of Transportation shall
suspend a vehicle registration for three (3) months if a driver
fails to have the required financial responsibility for a period of
more than thirty (30) days and the owner did not operate the vehicle
during that lapse in financial responsibility,
7. The Petitioner was unaware of the lapse in his motor vehicle
insurance coverage and supposed suspension of registration by the
department until he was stopped by the police on November 17, 1999,
as a result of an expired inspection sticker on his Jeep Cherokee.
The Petitioner was given citations for his expired inspection
sticker, driving without insurance coverage, and driving with a
;'''oj'' """"
-=
" I
-
suspended registration. See copies of the Citations attached hereto
and marked as Exhibits "D," "E," and "F," respectively.
8. The Petitioner pled guilty to a violation of 75 Pa.C.S.A.
~1786 and 72 Pa.C.S,A. ~1371 of the Motor Vehicle Code, not knowing
the consequences of his guilty plea, as he was unrepresented by
counsel, and the time period to pay his fines was rapidly
approaching.
9. At the time of the notice of Petitioner's license suspension
to which he filed a timely appeal, the appeal period for his
underlying conviction under 75 Pa.C.S.A. ~1786 for the lapse in
insurance coverage had expired, and he had not yet received the
paperwork from his insurance companies regarding proof that the
temporary lapse in coverage was for less than thirty (30) days.
10. The Petitioner filed a timely license suspension appeal in
Dauphin County, and by Order dated February 28, 2000, Judge Scott
Evans stayed the suspension pending a hearing, which was continued
and rescheduled for June 1, 2000. See copies of the Petition and
Orders attached hereto and marked as Exhibits "8," "H," and "I"
respectively.
11. The Petitioner's conduct was non-negligent under the
circumstances.
"if"~
-
~-,
12. The Commonwealth would not be prejudiced if the
Petitioner's conviction of driving with an expired registration is
appealed based on his temporary lapse in insurance coverage since it
was less than the statutory requirement of more than thirty (30)
days under 75 Pa.C.S.A. ~1786 and he would not have been convicted
of such violations.
13. Further, since the Petitioner's lapse in insurance coverage
was only sixteen (16) days, which is less than the statutory
requirement of more than thirty (30) days under ~1786, this Section
is not applicable, Petitioner's license was improperly suspended for
three (3) months, despite his guilty plea to a charge that he could
not have been convicted of.
14. Further, the petitioner did not violate 72 Pa.C.S.A. ~1371
of the Motor Vehicle Code, which provides for a suspension or
revocation of a driver's license if the individual drives while the
registration was suspended because Petitioner's registration was
improperly suspended under ~1786.
WHEREFORE, the Petitioner prays this Honorable Court to grant
the relief requested and granting the Petition to Appeal License
Suspension Nunc Pro Tunc.

DAVID C. WAGNER
Defendant
CIVIL ACTION - LAW
PETITION TO APPEAL LICENSE SUSPENSION
AND NOW, comes the Defendant, David C. Wagner, by and
through his attorneys, pannebaker and Jones, P.C., and
petitions this Court as follows:
1. The Defendant, David C. Wagner, is an adult individual
who currently resides at 310 Para Avenue, Hershey, Dauphin
County, Pennsylvania 17033.
2. The Defendant is the owner of a 1991 Jeep Cherokee, with
VIN 1J4FJ58S1ML622504 and automobile insurance LPA 799225605.
3. The Defendant's vehicle is/was insured by Integon
Insurance, a division of Geico Insurance, Co., located at 500
West Fifth Street, PO Box 3199, Winston-Salem, North Carolina
27102-3199.
4. The Defendant's insurance was effective from March 13,
1996 through September 13, 1998 without a lapse in coverage,
.
~,
- ~-~~
i
and it is his current policy. See a copy of the November 30,
1999
letter
from
Tammy
Tyson,
a
customer
service
representative for Integon, attached hereto and marked as
Exhibit "A."
5. The Defendant's insurance was also effective
from
September 28, 1998 through November 10, 1998 and there were
no lapses in coverage. See a copy of the November 29, 1999
letter by Tammy Tyson, a customer service representative from
Integon Insurance, attached hereto and marked as Exhibit "B."
6. The Defendant's insurance was also effective from
September 17, 1999 to the present, and the coverage was
continuous. See a copy of the November 17, 1999 letter from
Melinda Davis, a Customer Service Representative at Geico,
attached hereto and marked as Exhibit "C."
7. There was a sixteen (16) day lapse in coverage from
September 13, 1998 through September 28, 1998.
8. 75 Pa.C.S.A. ~1786(a) under the Pennsylvania Motor
Vehicle Code for financial responsibility requires that every
vehicle be registered under that title and be covered by
financial responsibility. Further, H 786 (d) (1) provides that
''''''''''~
"the
Department
of
Transportation
shall
suspend
the
registration of a vehicle for a period of three (3) months if
it determines the required financial responsibility was not
secured as required by this chapter and shall suspend the
operating privilege of the owner or registrant for a period
of three (3) months if the Department determines that the
owner or registrant has operated or permitted the operation
of a vehicle without the required financial responsibility."
However the subsection does not apply when:
1. "The owner or registrant proves to the satisfaction
of the Department that the lapse in financial
responsibility coverage was for a period of less
than thirty (31) days and that the owner or
registrant did not operate or permit the operation
of the vehicle during the period of lapse in
financial responsibility."
9. The Defendant was unaware of the lapse in his motor
vehicle insurance coverage, until he was stopped by the
police on November 17, 1999 as a result of an expired
inspection sticker on his Jeep Cherokee.
o.'if ,. _..~
~..-
-."
..
(
10. Since the Defendant's lapse in insurance company was
less than the statutory requirement of thirty (30) days,
U786
is not applicable,
and Defendant's
license was
improperly suspended for three (3) months.
11. Further, the Defendant did not violate 72 Pa.C.S.A.
~1371 of the Motor Vehicle Code which provides for a
suspension or revocation of a driver's license if the
individual drives while the registration was suspended
