Key legal question
Whether the six-month minimum licence withdrawal under Art. 17(1)(c) SVG could be reduced because of delay and the driver's conduct
Extracted holding
No reduction was justified on the basis of excessive delay; the driver partly caused the proceedings' length and had not behaved well during the period.
Extracted reasoning
The administrative proceedings were suspended at the driver's request and the criminal proceedings were prolonged by his withdrawn objection; moreover, a new speeding case was pending against him, so he could not rely on an overlong proceeding or good conduct.
