Ferguson, H., Aplt. v. Dept. of Transportation

Summary

Justice Wecht, concurring, affirms the majority's result that Pennsylvania's statute treating participation in an Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD) as a prior offense for driver‑license suspension does not violate the Pennsylvania Constitution. He reaches this conclusion by applying the traditional rational‑basis test, finding the statute rationally related to the legitimate goal of highway safety.
