- explaining that the Kane Court’s holding applies to the current statute, 75 Pa.C.S.A. § 1543
- judge’s ruling of “not guilty” was not the result of a prosecution but instead was the product of an administrative procedure designed to clear the docket
- “a defendant’s failure to notify PennDot of a change of address pursuant to 75 Pa.C.S.A. § 1515 precludes his or her reliance on the defense of insufficient notice.”
