Licensing – Driver’s license – Suspension – Refusal to submit to breath test – Actual physical control of vehicle – Evidence – Accident report privilege – Hearing officer erred in failing to suppress statements identifying licensee as driver that were made by licensee during accident investigation – Where reports admitted at hearing do not indicate that officers responding to the accident scene observed licensee behind the wheel, accident report identifies some other person with same name as licensee as driver, and civilian witness affidavits only identify driver as white male wearing gray shirt, but there is nothing to verify that licensee was person described or was wearing gray shirt, hearing officer’s conclusion that licensee was driver is not supported by admissible evidence – Where hearing officer stated in decision that licensee performed unsatisfactorily on field sobriety exercises, but all reports in evidence indicate that exercises were never conducted, hearing officer denied licensee due process by departing from neutrality and manufacturing evidence to support decision – Petition for writ of certiorari granted
WILLARD, Petitioner, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAY SAFETY AND MOTOR VEHICLES, BUREAU OF DRIVER IMPROVEMENT Oct. 2008
15 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 1137b
Licensing – Driver’s license – Suspension – Refusal to submit to breath test – Lawfulness of stop – Where officer who stopped licensee for excessive horn honking and following another vehicle too closely only noticed licensee after she reacted to being cut off by other vehicle that abruptly changed lanes in front of her without having safe distance for lane change and without signaling, and licensee committed no traffic violations after honking horn, hearing officer erred in finding that stop was justified by licensee’s “erratic driving” – Petition for writ of certiorari granted.
