Question juridique clé
Whether the mandatory driver's license withdrawal for a severe speeding offense could be shortened below the usual monthly scale because of exceptional sensitivity to the measure and proportionality concerns.
Solution extraite
A withdrawal was mandatory, but the two-month duration was excessive; in view of the exceptionally harsh occupational impact and the minor practical usefulness of a longer term, six weeks was proportionate.
Motifs extraits
The offense was serious and a minimal one-month withdrawal was not appropriate. However, the measure was so burdensome that proportionality allowed a duration measured in weeks rather than whole months. The statutes do not require withdrawals to be fixed only in full months, and prior practice accepted six-week withdrawals.
