We received a notice from the NY DMV today...they finally opened DHs plea of NOT GUILTY and all of the supporting documents. Did they write to appologize for our inconvenience??
NOT EVEN CLOSE:
They have set a court date for October 31 at 2:30pm.
Here is what the notice states:
"If you do not come to this hearing your driver's license or priveledge to drive in NY will be suspended. If suspended, under NY vehicle and traffic law you willhave to pay a $35 suspension termination fee in addition to all other fines and penalties before your license or driving priviledges will be restored, WHETHER OR NOT YOU ARE FOUND GUILTY OF THIS CASE."
In a nutshell, if DH doesnt go to the hearing and he is found NOT GUILTY, we will then have to pay $35 fee to get suspension removed because he failed to appear.
UNREAL. Is New York in such financial trouble that they have to continue to hardarm money from innocent people???
At this point all I can say is NY sucks.
NY saga continues...

Failing that have you thought of writing an article for your local paper or telling the local TV station about this? This, while totally sad, is totally hilarious.

Sometimes it seems like fighting bureaucracy is a full-time job. Good luck!

Wait a minute...you got a summons to go to NY traffic court on Halloween? Sounds like you already got the trick. Where's the treat?
