I went out of the state for a few months. When i got back i forgot to tell them i got back so i could take care of this and another one. Last year i went to renew my license and they had a hold on it so they knew when i got back. At that time they scheduled me for a hearing for a speeding violation. This one was never brought up nor mentioned before.
