Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the administrative authority was bound by the criminal judgment's legal qualification as gross traffic violation.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The authority was not bound by the criminal court's legal characterization because the legal assessment did not depend heavily on facts better known to the criminal judge.
Extrahierte Begründung
Binding force concerns factual findings, especially after a full criminal trial; legal qualification may also be binding only when it rests heavily on facts better assessed by the criminal judge, which was not the case here.
