Résumé Omnilex

The authority confirmed its practice of taking into account a prior speeding-related license withdrawal if it occurred within two years before the new offense. In this case, the driver committed a new speeding violation of 17 km/h, and the one-month license withdrawal was upheld because the earlier antecedent fell within the relevant two-year period.

Regeste Omnilex

LCR 17; speed-related driving measures and prior offenses. A previous license withdrawal for speeding may be taken into account when it occurred within two years before the new infraction. In such a case, the antecedent may justify the sanction imposed for the later speeding offense; the reviewing authority will uphold the withdrawal if the sanction is otherwise proportionate and based on the relevant recidivism assessment.
