Key legal question
Whether the five-month driver’s license withdrawal for drunk driving was excessive or disproportionate
Extracted holding
The withdrawal was proportionate and within the authority’s discretion; the five-month duration was upheld.
Extracted reasoning
The court relied on a high blood alcohol level, unfavorable prior record including an earlier 10-month withdrawal for drunk driving and a later speeding warning, and found no proven professional need to drive. The appellant’s contrary factual assertions were disregarded because they contradicted binding findings.
