Your driving record now has two major convictions within a five-year period <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

type described in <strong>the</strong> Habitual Traffic Offender Act. A third major conviction in <strong>the</strong><br />

five-year period will subject you <strong>to</strong> this law and could lead <strong>to</strong> a ten-year license<br />

revocation.<br />

The law also requires that we <strong>of</strong>fer you an opportunity for a meeting with a<br />

representative <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Mo<strong>to</strong>r Vehicles Division, in <strong>the</strong> county in which you reside. The<br />

purpose <strong>of</strong> this meeting is <strong>to</strong> advise you <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> provisions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> law and <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

availability <strong>of</strong> educational programs for driver improvement.<br />

Briefly, this law (ORS 484.700 – 484.750) will require <strong>the</strong> Mo<strong>to</strong>r Vehicles Division <strong>to</strong><br />

send a certified abstract <strong>of</strong> your operating record <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> district at<strong>to</strong>rney in your home<br />

county if you are convicted or forfeit bail on a third major traffic <strong>of</strong>fense within a fiveyear<br />

period.<br />

The district at<strong>to</strong>rney is <strong>the</strong>n required <strong>to</strong> file a complaint against any driver so certified,<br />

in <strong>the</strong> circuit court <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> county in which <strong>the</strong> driver lives. If <strong>the</strong> court finds that <strong>the</strong><br />

driver is a habitual <strong>of</strong>fender, <strong>the</strong> court shall file with <strong>the</strong> Mo<strong>to</strong>r Vehicles Division a copy<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> court order and <strong>the</strong> division must <strong>the</strong>n revoke <strong>the</strong> driver’s license for ten years.<br />

If you wish <strong>to</strong> meet with a representative <strong>of</strong> this division, please complete <strong>the</strong> blanks<br />

below and return this entire letter <strong>to</strong> this division within ten days. You will be notified<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> time and place <strong>to</strong> appear if you indicate you wish <strong>to</strong> have an advisory meeting.<br />

Very truly yours,<br />
