Question juridique clé
Whether a three-month driving licence withdrawal was justified under Art. 16(2) LCR despite the driver's claim of professional necessity as a restaurateur.
Solution extraite
The withdrawal was confirmed. The court held that driving in the exercise of a restaurateur's profession is not a determining professional need within the meaning of the case law, and the earlier withdrawal, the injuries to pedestrians, and the seriousness of the fault justified the duration.
Motifs extraits
The court relied on the previous one-month withdrawal, the bodily injuries caused to pedestrians, the danger created, and the lack of a qualifying professional need. It also noted that the licence withdrawal did not prevent the practice of the restaurateur profession.
