BEFORE: OLSON, J., McCAFFERY, J., and COLINS, J.* CONCURRING STATEMENT BY McCAFFERY, J.: FILED: MAY 8, 2023 I agree that we are bound by the en banc Majority decisions in Richards and Moroz to treat Appellant’s prior acceptance of ARD as a first DUI offense.

See Commonwealth v. Richards, 284 A.3d 214, 220-21 (Pa. Super. 2022), appeal granted, 518 MAL 2022 (Pa. Mar. 15, 2023) (en banc); Commonwealth v. Moroz, 284 A.3d 227, 233 (Pa. Super. 2022) (en banc).1 However, for the reasons expressed in my Dissenting Opinions, I believe Richards and Moroz were wrongly decided. See Richards, 284 A.3d at 222-
