RE: Traffic ticket of Thursday August 8, 2013 – citation # 01234
Dear Sir:
This shall be deemed notice that I have filed a timely request for an administrative hearing with the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicley, copy attached hereto and made a part of this notice.
As of the date of this letter I have not received notice that said agency has issued a final determination.
Sincerely,
When you get to court, inform the judge that you have timely requested an administrative hearing, but have not received a response yet, and that there is a letter in the judge's file.
Should you ever get a hearing, and lose, then ask for judicial review.
