You are hereby notified that because of such record, this Department proposes to
suspend or revoke your driving privilege or to place your privilege on probation as
provided in Sections 12809, 13359, 13950-52, V. C.
You are entitled to a hearing to present any evidence, oral or written, as to why the
Department should not take the proposed action against your driver’s license. You
have the choice of a formal or informal hearing. In either type of hearing, you may
present any evidence on your behalf. You are not required to be represented by legal
counsel, but your attorney may be present if you wish. In the formal hearing a
complete written record is made of the entire proceedings and is available for review of
the courts.
An informal hearing has been scheduled by the Department of Motor Vehicles, to be
held at:
A Driver Improvement Analyst will act as referee at the informal hearing.
A formal hearing, if requested, will be scheduled in place of the informal hearing.
You may respond to this notice either through appearance at the informal hearing or by
demanding a formal hearing within 14 days from the date of this notice. Failure to
respond to this notice is a waiver of the right to a hearing, and the Department may take
action without hearing as authorized in Section 14103 V. V. Please bring to the hearing
any Driver’s License which has been issued to you.
