Notes of Decisions

Under former similar statute

Where defendant had not taken delivery of any written notices of suspension of license sent to him, evidence of defendant’s prior driving convictions was admissible for purpose of proving defendant’s knowledge that his license was suspended.

Evidence that Division followed required procedure for notifying defendant of suspension was sufficient to support finding that defendant had received notice. State v. Gartzke, 35 Or App 151, 580 P2d 1062 (1978)

Notification that certified mail is at post office is notice of suspension. State v. DeMello, 300 Or 590, 716 P2d 732 (1986)
