Beasley, Judge,
concurring specially.
I concur but I would not want my concurrence to be construed as *633condoning or ignoring the failure of courts and court personnel to obey the dictates of the law. The object of requiring the court to send notice to the Department of Public Safety within ten days is obviously to ensure quick revocation of the license of a person who should not be driving. When the court neglects its duty to act promptly, the offender keeps driving and the lives and property of others are jeopardized to that extent.
Moreover, the delay in some cases may work an unfair burden on the driver when, many years later, and far beyond the period of his initial violations, his license is suddenly revoked.
