Vehicle Code: 1533a

[ralphsumpter]

My question involves a driver's license issued by the State of: Pennsylvania
My failings to understand why my license is still suspended. I paid my fine off. I pleaded guilty so I didn’t have to show up to court. So I’m finding this very baffled.

If you were suspended under 75 PACS 1533(a) (there is no PA "Vehicle Code"), it appears you didn't properly respond to the citation. What was the original citation for? How did you plead guilty and pay the fine?

1533. Suspension of operating privilege for failure to respond to citation.

(a) Violations within Commonwealth.--The department shall suspend the operating privilege of any person who has failed to respond to a citation or summons to appear before an issuing authority or a court of competent jurisdiction of this Commonwealth for any violation of this title, other than parking, or who has failed to pay any fine, costs or restitution imposed by an issuing authority or such courts for violation of this title, other than parking, upon being duly notified by an issuing authority or a court of this Commonwealth.

Ralph, I suggest you visit the courthouse and see what it's going to take to get your license back, then do it.
