Road law license revocation may proceed with less proof
Charleston Attorney General Homer A Holt ruled that the road commission can revoke an automobile driver's license with weaker evidence than is required for a driving while intoxicated conviction. Acquittal before a justice of the peace does not bar road commission proceedings. The opinion for James P Tierney cites statutes granting license revocation powers to both justices and the road commission, framing revocation as a civil action and protecting public safety.
