Book excerpt: The Department of Revenue's procedure for suspending the driver's license of an individual found to have sustained a seizure involving the loss of consciousness while in the waking state within the preceding 12 months meets Fourteenth Amendment due process hearing requirements. While a full evidentiary hearing is not available to the licensee until after the suspension becomes effective, the degree of deprivation (in view of the opportunity for a hearing within 30 days and the availability of a restricted license in hardship cases) and any risk of erroneous deprivation are outweighed by the government's interest in highway safety.
