Key legal question
Whether repeated traffic-rule violations justify ordering a practical driving test under Art. 14(3) SVG.
Extracted holding
A practical driving test is only justified when there are doubts about the driver’s technical driving ability; violations caused by inattention or an improper attitude do not suffice.
Extracted reasoning
The court distinguished between deficiencies in driving skill and violations stemming from inattention or disregard for traffic rules. The appellant’s offenses pointed to the latter, not to insufficient driving technique.
