JJY?w' Llc?v? µ 0 0I?K (Qg (oq, ,-P-4 c -1106 - ylo k 3 a Petition to Appeal License Sus ension I moved to a different residence over a year ago and failed to have my address changed on my license. It' just did not occur to me to change it and I would have changed it when I renewed my license this October. Recently I was pulled over for having a headlight out. I had the replacement bulb with me so the officer let me go with a warning. He pointed out that I needed to change my address and copied down my current one. I called PENNDOT immediately to have my address changed. Soon after that, I received a citation in the mail for driving on a suspended license. This was a complete surprise to me! Further calls and investigation revealed that I was to have received a letter in August telling me I needed to take a points exam due to a speeding ticket in May 2010. I never received that letter, due to my mistake of not having changed my address on my license. Apparently my license was then suspended in November, and again I was completely unaware. When I got the citation, I immediately went to the Magistrate's office to talk to them and pay my fine. I explained my situation of being in this predicament out of ignorance. They said I needed to pay the fine regardless, so I did. PENNDOT told me I needed to take a points exam to have my license restored. I got the book and studied and passed that test this morning, March 21, 2011. It was then that I found out, very much to my surprise, that my license could be suspended for a year, and I would need to make an appeal. I came to the Carlisle County Courthouse to find out what I needed to do. I humbly ask for the mercy of the court. I sincerely apologize for my negligence in not having had my address changed. I paid $285.50 in fines for driving on a suspended license, even though I did so in complete ignorance. I have not driven since I found out my license was suspended and would not think of it! I have learned my lesson thoroughly about paying better attention to detail. I have one more week at my current job at Keystone Human Services, and on March 28h, I will start a new job at CPARC as a program advisor. A valid PA license is required for this job. I find myself in a very crucial situation of needing to have my license restored. Please accept my request for an appeal. Thank you. V Rubp?t Y, - Janet L.
