Dear Mr. HERBERT H HOLSBERG JR:
recallns
We have received medical information indicating that you have a Substance Abuse condition
which prevents you from safely operating a motor vehicle.
As of 11/24/2009, 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.
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 copy of the appeal by certified mail to:
