Petition for Review of Order of Department of Transportation
Recalling Driving Privilege
Petitioner Bruce Miller respectfully petitions the Court pursuant to 75 Pa. Cons.
Stat. Ann. § 1550 for review of an order of the Department of Transportation recalling
petitioner's driving privilege, and in support thereof represents as follows:
I. Petitioner Bruce Miller is an adult individual resident at 207 N. Hanover
St., Apt. 2, Carlisle, PA 17013.
2. Petitioner currently possesses a valid driver's license issued to him on
October 7, 2005, which has not heretofore been suspended, cancelled, or revoked.
3. By letter dated November 23. 2007, petitioner was notified in writing by
the Department of Transportation of the entry of an order recalling his driving privilege for the
following reasons as set forth in the notice: stating that he has a Seizure Disorder condition. A
copy of the notice is attached as Exhibit "A."
4. The recall is improper and unlawful for the following reason: The Seizure
Disorder meets the Department's waiver requirement, occurring only upon sleep or immediately
upon awakening. 67 Pa. Code § 834(b)(2), as documented in the Initial Reporting Form Section
C (Exhibit "B").
WHEREFORE, petitioner respectfully requests that the Court set this matter
down forthwith for de novo hearing pursuant to 75 Pa. Cons. Stat. Ann. § 1550 and that the order
of the Department of Transportation be set aside.

Dear Mr. BRUCE MILLER:
recalszr
We have received medical information indicating that you have a Seizure Disorder condition
which prevents you from safely operating a motor vehicle.
As of 12/14/2007, you may no longer drive. Your driving privilege is hereby recalled
indefinitely as mandated by Section 1519(c) of the Vehicle Code.
This decision has been made by comparing your medical condition with the standards
recommended by our Medical Advisory Board and adopted by this Department. This action will
remain in effect until we receive medical information that your condition has improved and you
are able to safely operate a motor vehicle.
Since you have a seizure disorder, you must remain seizure free for a six month period, with or
without medication, before you will be eligible for reinstatement of your driving privilege. Our
records indicate that your seizure occurred on 08/10/2007.
In order to comply with this action, you must return all current Pennsylvania driver's licenses,
learner's permits, temporary driver's licenses (camera cards) in your possession, on or before the
effective date listed above. If you cannot comply with the requirements stated above, a sworn
affidavit stating that you are aware of the sanction against your driving privilege must be
submitted. When the Department receives your license or affidavit, we will send you a receipt.
If you do not return all current driver license products, we must refer this matter to the
Pennsylvania State Police for prosecution under SECTION 1571(a) (4) of the Pennsylvania
Vehicle Code.
YOU MAY NOT RETAIN YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE FOR IDENTIFICATION
PURPOSES. However, you may apply for and obtain a photo identification card at any Driver
License Center. You must present two (2) forms of proper identification (e.g., birth certificate,
valid U.S. passport, marriage certificate, etc.) in order to obtain your photo identification card.
You have the right to appeal to the Court of Common Pleas (Civil Division) within thirty (30)
days of the mail date of this notice. If you file an appeal in the County Court, the Court will give
you a time-stamped certified copy of the appeal. In order for your appeal to be valid, you must
send this time-stamped certified copy of the appeal by certified mail to:
Pennsylvania Department of Transportation
Office of Chief Counsel
Third Floor, Riverfront Office Center
Harrisburg, PA 17104
You still must send in your license before the effective date of recall unless you appear in person
before a judge and receive an order permitting you to continue driving.
If you have any questions or need further information, please contact the Medical Unit, P.O. Box
68682, Harrisburg, PA 17106-8682 or call (717) 787-9662 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and
4:15 p.m.
