Questione giuridica chiave
Whether a 12-month driving license withdrawal was mandatory after the appellant drove while his license was withdrawn and had prior withdrawals within five years.
Decisione estratta
Yes. Driving despite a withdrawal is a serious offense, and the prior serious/mild-repeat history triggered the statutory minimum of 12 months.
Motivazione estratta
Art. 16c LCR required a minimum 12-month withdrawal in light of the appellant's current serious offense and prior withdrawals; the court noted the duration could not be reduced under Art. 16 al. 3 LCR.
