Key legal question
Whether a three-month driving-license withdrawal may be executed in two separate periods.
Extracted holding
No. Federal road traffic law provides no basis for splitting the execution of an admonitory driving-license withdrawal, even for personal convenience or hardship.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Supreme Court held that the statutory scheme aims at a continuous, duly served withdrawal for a fixed duration. Legislative history showed that Parliament rejected a proposal to allow split execution, and such a modality would undermine the preventive and educational purpose of the measure.
