¶1Justice, dissenting.
¶2The majority adds the loss of driving privileges to other “collateral consequences” of a conviction, the lack of knowledge of which will not undermine the validity of a guilty plea, yet the very magistrate before whom the plea was entered signed the order directing the suspension of the defendant’s operators license, albeit in the performance of a mandatory function. In my view this direct involvement by the sentencing authority in what is termed a “collateral consequence” makes a significant difference, particularly where one is precluded from driving, indeed a severe sanction, call it what you will, in today’s world. I must, therefore, respectfully dissent.
