34 - Revocation of the right to Drive a Motor Vehicle due to Special Circumstances

1. If the police have reasonable grounds to believe that the holder of the right to drive a motor vehicle requiring a driver's license no longer meets the requirements for vision, health, and physical ability for such a driver's license, including the holder's potential misuse of alcohol or other intoxicating or narcotic substances, or if the holder lacks the knowledge or driving skills necessary for road safety, the Chief of Police or the person they authorize may require the holder—if they still wish to retain their driver's license—to undergo a medical examination as deemed necessary and present themselves for a full or partial new driving test within a specified deadline. If the police deem it necessary, they may require the holder to surrender their driver's license to the police for the time being.

2. If the holder fails to comply with the requirement in the first paragraph, or if the medical examination is unsatisfactory, or if they fail the driving test, the Chief of Police or the person they authorize may revoke the driver's license. § 33, paragraph 5, applies correspondingly.

   If the result of the medical examination does not prevent it, or if the holder passes the driving test, the authorized authority may issue a new driver's license to the holder, possibly with a limited validity period or under specific conditions.

3. The Chief of Police or the person they authorize may revoke the driver's license if the holder fails to present the required medical certificate within the specified deadline, cf. § 24, paragraphs 5 and 6.

4. If the holder of the driver's license is not sober or if their conduct is such that they are deemed unfit to drive a motor vehicle, the Chief of Police or the person they authorize may revoke the right to drive a motor vehicle requiring a driver's license for a specified period or indefinitely, if road safety or other public concerns require it.
