JO A. LAVERY, Appellant, v. MARY A. LOPEZ, Respondent.

Ordered that the order is reversed, with costs, the motion is denied, the complaint is reinstated, and the defendant's time to answer is extended until 20 days after service upon her of a copy of this decision and order, with notice of entry.

The defendant's presentation at the scene of the accident of a driver's license with an incorrect address was sufficient to estop her from "contesting the validity of the service of process upon [her] at the address noted on [her] license and the due diligence of the plaintiff in ascertaining [her] correct actual dwelling place or usual place of abode" (Treutlein v Gutierrez, 129 A.D.2d 791, 791-792; Hill v Jones, 113 A.D.2d 874; Kramer v Ryder Truck Rental, 112 A.D.2d 194). Thompson, J.P., Bracken, Lawrence and Harwood, JJ., concur.
