driver in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania with a residence address of 1425
Timberbrook Drive, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
2. Respondent, Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, Bureau of Driver
Licensing, has a mailing address at P.O. Box 68693, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

X03 79/
eb Ar
P#2 q7 /4Z
4. On or about October 1, 2013, Petitioner received a notice of license suspension,
a copy of which is attached hereto, incorporated herein by reference, and marked as
Exhibit A, for allegedly refusing to submit to a chemical test authorized by §1547(b)(3) of
the Motor Vehicle Code.
5. Petitioner believes and therefore avers that the suspension as set forth in the
attached notice dated October 1, 2013 is null and void, ineffective and invalid for the
following reasons:
A. The officer did not advise the Petitioner of the consequences of refusing to
take a submit to a test;
B. The condition of the Petitioner was as a result of the automobile accident
such that he could not form an opinion as whether to take or not take the
test;
C. The condition of the Petitioner unrelated to the use of alcohol was as a
result of an automobile accident that prevented him from making a knowing
decision regarding the taking or not taking the test.
6. As a result of the above, Petitioner believes and therefore avers that the
suspension of his driving privileges is inappropriate, invalid, null and void and should be
set aside.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner prays this Court to grant his appeal from the license
suspension, and determine that his suspension is null and void.
Respectfully submitted,
Wagner & Spreha
