That was a message I got from the MVA... the procedure is called
Administrative hearing, and the reason is that I got two accidents in a
year. 
I'd say I'm unlucky driver rather than a dangerous one. One accident was my
fault, but with so tinny damage that the insurance company doesn't take it
into account. Another one occured on a slippery road... although who cares?

Now, the question is, does anyone know if the revokation is inevitable?
anything like a probation term? 
What kind of arguments could they (the hearing) accept?
Say, that my fault wasn't so awfull?
That I corrected my would-be wrong habits afterwards?
That I'm already severely punished (fixing things/ paying outrageous
premiums)?
That I need to drive to survive?
That I've been never caught drunk/speeding?
That I'm not an irresponsible youth but a Ph.D. and father of two?

I imagine that I will have no more than 30 seconds to defend myself, so I
need an advice really very much.

Thanx,				D
