Upon reaching adulthood and passing the driving test, one can obtain a driving license, but this can quickly be lost again due to misconduct in road traffic. A driving ban prohibits a person from operating motor vehicles in road traffic. It can be imposed as part of an administrative offense or criminal proceedings. Fundamentally, a distinction must be made between a driving ban as an ancillary penalty to a fine and the revocation of a driving license.
A driving ban is merely a temporary measure, after which one regains their driving license. Typically, this temporary measure is an ancillary penalty to the imposed fine. The revocation of a driving license, on the other hand, serves to protect other road users and means that the driving license is withdrawn. This measure can be ordered if too many points have been recorded in the Flensburg register. Provisional revocations of driving licenses, for example due to driving under the influence of alcohol, are also not uncommon. If one wishes to regain their driving license after its revocation, it must be reapplied for. It is not uncommon for a so-called medical-psychological examination (MPU) to be required before it is reissued.
An experienced traffic law attorney can show you whether you have a good chance of defending yourself against a permanent driving ban.
