A warning withdrawal is a temporary driving disqualification (also known as a driving license withdrawal). You receive such a measure, for example, in the event of a traffic accident or a significant speeding offense.
If you have already violated the Road Traffic Act (SVG) in the past, you can expect more severe administrative measures. This so-called cascade system provides for a progressive tightening of sanctions – repeated violations can result in a longer or even indefinite driving disqualification.
A withdrawal of a warning can have far-reaching consequences, especially for professionals who are dependent on their vehicle. We advise and represent you competently in appeals against administrative measures and check whether a reduction or postponement of the driving disqualification is possible.

A preventive withdrawal is a driving disqualification for an indefinite period. In contrast to a warning withdrawal, which is intended to have an educational effect, a precautionary withdrawal serves to protect road users from unsuitable drivers.
The driver’s license is withdrawn as a precautionary measure if it is suspected that a person is no longer fit to drive. Possible reasons for this are:
✔ Physical or mental illness
✔ Alcohol, drug or medication addiction
✔ Neurological or psychiatric problems
In order to get their driver’s license back, the person concerned must prove their fitness to drive. This is done by means of a traffic medical examination, which checks the following aspects:
✔ Substance use: alcohol, drugs, medication
✔ Physical illnesses: Internal or neurological restrictions
✔ Mental stability: Psychiatric clarifications
If you are threatened with a withdrawal of security or have already been ordered to do so, you should act quickly. Our law firm will examine your case and advise you on possible legal remedies. In many cases, a targeted strategy can speed up the return of your driving license or achieve a less stringent condition.

✔ Failure to maintain a safe distance – Driving too close can lead to a charge and a disqualification from driving.
✔ Driving while unfit to drive – Alcohol, drugs or medication impair your ability to drive and can have serious legal consequences.
✔ Failure to control the vehicle – punishable if the driving behavior is based on a driving error and endangers others.
✔ Driving a vehicle that is not roadworthy – vehicles with technical defects can lead to an operating ban or criminal charges.

In recent years, the number of fatalities and serious injuries on the roads has fallen continuously. In 2019, there were fewer than 200 road deaths for the first time – a total of 187 people lost their lives and 3,639 were seriously injured. This development shows the success of the stricter road safety measures.
With the Via sicura road safety package road safety package aims to reduce the number of road casualties by a further quarter. However, this goes hand in hand with a restrictive application of the law and tougher penalties:
✔ Stricter prosecution for traffic offences
✔ Longer driving disqualifications for speeders, repeat offenders and serious offences
✔ Little discretion for judges for certain offences
As Via sicura is being consistently enforced with political will, a legal review of your case may be worthwhile. In case of doubt, we recommend an initial consultation with a lawyer specializing in road traffic law to examine possible defence strategies.

The Road Traffic Act (SVG) and the associated administrative measures are subject to public law. This involves not only the correct establishment of the facts, but also the question of proportionality – especially when weighing up the interests of the individual and road safety.
While administrative fines and administrative warnings still have comparatively minor consequences, more serious road traffic offenses fall under the Criminal Code (StGB) and the Code of Criminal Procedure (CPC). These include in particular:
✔ Negligent bodily injury or homicide in road traffic
✔ Endangering life through traffic offenses
✔ Speeding offenses under Via sicura
✔ Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs (Art. 91 SVG)
As an experienced criminal defense lawyer, your attorney for road traffic law not only deals with administrative law issues such as driver’s license revocations, but also with the criminal consequences of traffic offenses.
