I can not think about the forms nightmare of getting a letter from the DMV stating that your driver’s license is suspended for one thing you had nothing to do with. One unlucky Georgia driver resides that nightmare. The Georgia Division of Driver Providers suspended the license of a Justin Jones in October. In line with the company, Jones was charged with a DUI in Santa Fe, New Mexico on Christmas Eve in 2005. Nonetheless, it was a special one that dedicated the crime. The Jones whose license was suspended had by no means been to the state.
Georgia DDS had laid the burden of proof on Jones to exonerate himself and restore his license. Nonetheless, the division refused to simply accept any proof that he had tried to submit. Jones is adamant that he is by no means been to New Mexico, telling WSB-TV, “By no means been to New Mexico, by no means pushed by way of New Mexico. I’ve by no means even stepped foot within the state off a airplane.” Regardless of a number of letters from officers within the Southwestern state confirming that Jones wasn’t the identical individual because the perpetrator, DDS again in Georgia refused to elevate the suspension.
An digital discover from New Mexico is the one manner out
There’s some gentle on the finish of the tunnel for Jones. As a result of the unique discover from New Mexico was submitted electronically, Georgia will not elevate the suspension till it receives an digital negate from the New Mexico DMV. It is a ridiculous answer to an equally silly dilemma. Who would’ve guessed that laptop methods would solely additional complicate the notoriously irritating struggles on the DMV?
