HAYS, Justice,
specially concurring:
I concur in the result reached by the majority in this case. However, the opinion goes beyond the necessity of a determination of the issue presented.
We still follow State v. Corvelo, 91 Ariz. 52, 369 P.2d 903 (1962), even though it predates the Rules of Criminal Procedure, and there being no abuse of discretion by the trial court in permitting a withdrawal of the plea of guilty, the trial court’s ruling is upheld. With this I agree.
I see no need to engage in discourse on whether the loss of license was a direct consequence of the plea, nor meet the question of the meaning of the term “manifest injustice” as raised by the Court of Appeals.
*238I certainly concur with the majority opinion in stating that the loss of license is not a special condition which must be added to the litany in accepting a plea of guilty to reckless or drunk driving.
I concur in the result.
