A driver who has been repeatedly convicted of driving while intoxicated is entitled to time credits against a license suspension set to go into effect more than a decade ago, but for which he was not properly notified, the Commonwealth Court has ruled.

The ruling overturns PennDOT’s decision to start imposing the suspension in June 2012, when Tracy acknowledged that he was aware of the suspension.
