parked it, because there was no insurance, did you tell your
son that?
A Yeah, he knew it.
Q And what did you tell him about driving the
vehicle?
A I told him that he couldn't drive it. There
was no insurance on it. I was laid off. And I could not

supposed to be driving it.

A
20 A On the 26th?
21 Q Yes.
22 A I am not sure if it was the 26th, but he -- I
23 didn't know that he even got caught until I got this notice,
24 and then he had told me that he had got caught driving this
25 car, and he said that, you know, he just explained it to me
8
1 that he drove it.
2 Q And when you say you got -- you found out
3 about this when you got notice, is that when you got the
4 citation?
5 A When I got the citation is when I found out,
6 really, that he had drove the car, because I didn't
7 understand why I was getting the citation.
8 Q And what did you do with that citation?
9 A Well, I went into Donald Daihl's to see what
10 it was about, and he explained it to me. He said that, you
11 know, that the car was in my name, and I was liable to have
12 insurance on it. I know it is. I parked it.
13 Well, he said, that I was fined for it, and I
14 was to pay the fine before he had turned it in to
15 Harrisburg. And that was about it on it, you know, that I
16 know.
17 Q Now, when he was talking about turning
18 something in to Harrisburg, what was he talking about?
19 A He said if I did not pay the fine, that they
20 would have to turn it in to Harrisburg, and then they would
21 probably pull my -- well, pull my license until the fine was
22 paid.
23 Q For the citation?
24 A For the citation. So I pled guilty for it,
25 and paid for it because I knew there was no insurance on the
9
1 car to begin with.
2 Q Were you aware that your paying this citation
3 would result in any kind of suspension?
4 A No. No, I didn't realize that there would be
5 any suspension over it.
6 Q Did you talk to an attorney about this
7 citation at all?
8 A No. No, I didn't.
9 Q Do you have that car now?
10 A No, we do not. We had got rid of it to a
11 junk dealer. It's totally junk. I mean, it's in the junk
12 yard.
13 MS. WINDER: I have no other questions.
14 THE COURT: Any questions?
