SNELL, Justice
(dissenting).
I respectfully dissent from the majority opinion for the reasons stated in my dissent in Iowa Department of Transportation v. Iowa District Court for Scott County, 587 N.W.2d 781, 1998 WL 897090 (Iowa 1998). Axton’s right to apply for restoration of her driving privileges accrued on June 9, 1996, two years from the date the six-year revocation was imposed. Therefore, while her application was made after the repeal of Iowa Code section 321J.4(3)(b), her right to proceed under that statute had accrued and was saved by the savings clause found in Iowa Code section 4.13(2). I would reverse the judgment of the district court and remand for further proceedings.
