Drivers’ licenses suspended two years late

"We are working closely with the Department of Driver Services to ensure that appropriate measures are taken so that no convicted violator is punished twice for their original offense," Bores told Channel 2.

A court clerk who attended training recently discovered the error.

"As soon as we became aware of the issue we had to correct it -- we did correct it," Leah O'Donnell, Woodstock's court services coordinator, told Channel 2. "We're doing all we can to make sure this doesn't happen again in the future."

Drivers whose licenses should have been suspended before are being notified now. They will not be able to evade the suspension, officials said.
