You Received a "Notice of Delay in Title 75 Reporting." Now What?
PennDOT Is Trying to Suspend Licenses for Old DUI Convictions — You have the Right to Fight Back!
If you recently received a “Notice of Delay in Title 75 Reporting” from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), don't ignore it! You're not alone.
Across Pennsylvania, drivers are being notified that PennDOT is suspending their driver's license for DUI convictions that happened 5, 8, or even 10 years ago. These letters are the result of serious administrative delays — not anything you did wrong.
For years, the Allegheny County Department of Court Records office failed to promptly report DUI convictions to PennDOT, as required by law. Now, PennDOT is trying to enforce license suspensions long after these cases were resolved — disrupting people's lives, careers, and families.
You Have the Right to Appeal!
This Delay Can Be Challenged — and Won.
Pennsylvania law recognizes that it's unfair to punish someone years after the fact because of a government delay.
If PennDOT is now trying to suspend your license long after your DUI conviction, you have the right to file an appeal.
You can win your appeal by showing prejudice — meaning that your circumstances have significantly changed since the conviction. Examples of prejudice include:
- You have built a stable career that requires driving.
- You've obtained professional licenses or commercial driving privileges.
- You've completed treatment, moved forward with your life, and relied on the fact that your case was over.
- A suspension now would cause substantial hardship to you or your family.
Courts across Pennsylvania have agreed: when PennDOT delays too long, suspending your license years later can be unjust.
Why You Need an Experienced Attorney
I'm Attorney Mike Sherman, and for more than 38 years I've defended Pennsylvanians facing DUI and license-related consequences.
Before entering private practice, I spent eight years as an attorney for the Pennsylvania State Police, gaining an insider's understanding of how PennDOT and law enforcement handle DUI reporting and enforcement.
Today, I use that experience to help drivers fight back when the system fails them — especially in cases involving delayed reporting, license suspensions, and PennDOT errors.
I'm also the author of Pennsylvania's leading DUI textbook and regularly teach other lawyers across the state how to defend DUI and driver's license cases. My practice is focused on quality, personal representation — not volume. You'll deal directly with me, not a paralegal or call center.
