Question juridique clé
Whether driving on 2005-03-01 constituted a serious violation under Art. 16c Abs. 1 lit. f SVG despite the driver's arguments about lack of awareness, emergency, and unlawful police action.
Solution extraite
Yes. The driver knew or had serious reason to know the withdrawal was effective, and no valid necessity situation or other exculpatory ground was established.
Motifs extraits
The earlier withdrawal was effective once the license had been deposited and the driver had been expressly informed that the sanction would start upon deposit. The criminal judgment's findings on capacity, necessity, and subjective awareness were not departed from. The circumstances did not amount to an ultima ratio necessity defense.
