can I have avoided the suspension?
Yes, the notice informed you that if you pay all of the tolls, fees or other charges owed to the tolling authority, or have them dismissed or transferred , the suspension will not take effect .
too late now, so I can do the hearing or the one where I don't have to show up?
yes, you may request an in - person DMV hearing or you may request a hearing by affidavit this is a hearing on paper
