Impaired Driving

Overview

The main law was updated on the 5th November 2010. An addendum regarding speeding and drink driving was made on the 15th June 2012. It should be noted that Municipalities and similar entity’s are able enact laws and impose fines. Some of the offences listed without penalty points may attract them at a later date. On reaching twelve penalty points the courts will normally disqualify a driver from driving and suspend the driving license. Currently penalty points are removed three years after the day on which they were imposed.

Our firm may defend your right both in case of traffic violations and criminal traffic offenses, which are a more serious traffic infraction than a simple traffic violation. While traffic violations include actions such as speeding, illegal parking, using a mobile telephone, eating or drinking while driving, etc. criminal traffic offences often involve among others driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, driving with suspended or revoked license, reckless driving etc.
