In In re Arndt, 67 N.J. 432, 436, 341 A.2d 596 (1975), the Court observed that a delay of nearly three years between a motorist's arrest on suspicion of driving while under the influence of alcohol and the Division of Motor Vehicle's final decision suspending his license for refusing to submit to a breathalyzer test "evinced an entire lack of that acute appreciation of justice which should characterize a tribunal charged with such a delicate and important duty." 67 N.J. at 437, 341 A.2d 596. The Court concluded that because the suspension proceedings had not been conducted "within a reasonable time and . . . the proceedings as a whole were conducted with seriously unfair disregard of the motorist's rights, . . . the order of suspension should be vacated."
