Regest

Art. 14 LCR; security withdrawal of a driving licence on psychiatric grounds: where a medically established psychological or psychiatric condition raises doubts as to driving fitness, the competent authority may order a security measure independent of any concrete traffic offence. The decisive factor is the present and prospective fitness to drive; the measure is preventive and remains justified as long as the medical risk persists.
