Presenting Evidence
Any evidence you present must be relevant to your case.
Evidence can be presented in the form of sworn documents,
medical records, collision reports, photographs, or other
relevant items. Evidence can also be sworn testimony
taken under oath. On the date of your hearing, be prepared
to bring any witness or written evidence from any witness
who knows the specific issues involved in your case. Your
witness should be prepared to answer any questions raised
by the hearing officer. Evidence presented becomes part
of DMV’s official administrative hearing record and will
not be returned to you. Make copies of any evidence you
want to retain for your records prior to the hearing.
Attendance
If you cannot attend your hearing on the scheduled date
and time, you must contact DMV within 10 working
days of the time you know, or should have known, that
you need a continuance. You may be required to file a
written statement indicating the reasons why you cannot
appear. DMV will grant the continuance after 10 working
days if you are not responsible for causing the delay and
have made a good faith attempt to prevent the delay. If a
continuance has not been granted and you do not attend
your hearing, DMV will proceed with the hearing without
you.
