Key legal question
Whether the 20-month driver’s license withdrawal was excessive in light of the circumstances
Extracted holding
The withdrawal was too severe; a 15-month withdrawal was appropriate after overall assessment of fault, recidivism timing, and professional dependence.
Extracted reasoning
The cantonal court gave too much weight to the seriousness of fault and too little weight to the appellant’s significant professional need for a vehicle. The Federal Court decided the matter itself because the decisive facts were established.
