Questione giuridica chiave
Whether a second minor traffic offence during probation causes lapse of the probationary licence under Art. 15a SVG
Decisione estratta
Yes. If the second offence triggers a licence withdrawal under Art. 16a Abs. 2 SVG, the probationary licence lapses under Art. 15a Abs. 4 SVG, even if the offence is minor when viewed in isolation.
Motivazione estratta
The wording of Art. 15a Abs. 4 SVG is clear. Systematic, historical, and teleological considerations do not justify departing from it; the law aims to protect traffic safety and prevent inexperienced drivers from continuing to drive after a second sanctionable offence.
