A warning withdrawal is a temporary driving disqualification (also known as a driving license withdrawal). You will receive such a measure in the event of a traffic accident or a significant speeding offense, for example.
If you have already violated the Road Traffic Act (SVG) in the past, you may be subject to stricter 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 warning withdrawal 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 license withdrawal 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 safety 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The driver’s license is withdrawn as a precautionary measure if it is suspected that a person is no longer fit to drive.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 that they are fit 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.

The Road Traffic Act (SVG) contains numerous offences that can lead to fines, administrative measures or even criminal prosecution. The most common traffic offenses that we deal with at our law firm are
✔ S peeding – Depending on how much you exceed the speed limit, you could be fined, have your license revoked or face criminal proceedings.
✔ 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 more stringent 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 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 specialist lawyer for road traffic law in order to examine possible defense strategies.

The Road Traffic Act (SVG) and the associated administrative measures are subject to public law. This is not just a question of establishing the facts correctly, but also 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 road traffic offences
✔ Speeding offences under Via sicura
✔ Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs (Art. 91 SVG)
