Key legal question
Whether the preventive withdrawal of the Swiss driving licence and driving ban were lawful despite the appellant's good faith.
Extracted holding
Yes. The decisive point was that the appellant did not hold a valid foreign driving licence, so the conditions for exchanging it and retaining the Swiss licence were not met.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Court considered the appellant's assertions about the dismissal of a French criminal case irrelevant. He did not dispute that the foreign licence was invalid, which was sufficient to uphold the lower decision.
