McCafferty, 758 A.2d 1155 (Pa. 2000), in which the majority of this court determined that certain reporting requirements of Article III of the Driver s License Compact, 75 Pa.C.S. §1581, need not be strictly complied with in order to meet the requisites of due process. I recognize that McCafferty, although ill-advised, is stare decisis and compels my joinder herein.
