ATA/548/1996•Repeated speeding justified driver’s licence withdrawal
ATA/548/1996Tribunal de Justiça / Câmara Administrativa24 de set. de 1996Dismissed
Extraído pela Omnilex
A professional taxi driver with three prior warnings and two earlier licence withdrawals committed a further speeding offence by 29 km/h. In view of this record, the court held that a warning would not be sufficient and that a driver’s licence withdrawal was required. The challenge to the sanction was therefore rejected.
LCR art. 16 al. 3; repeated traffic offences and antecedents justify withdrawal of the driving licence rather than a mere warning. Where the offender has already been sanctioned several times and again exceeds the speed limit significantly, the authority may impose the more severe measure if a warning would not adequately meet the preventive and disciplinary purpose of the law.

Résumé
L'administré, chauffeur professionnel de taxi, a déjà reçu trois avertissements et deux retraits de permis de conduire depuis 1987. Un nouveau dépassement de 29 km/h de la vitesse maximale autorisée, doit être par conséquent sanctionné par un retrait de permis. Un simple avertissement ne serait vraisemblablement pas suffisant, vu les antécédents de l'intéressé.

Whether the new speeding offence could be sanctioned by a mere warning despite the driver’s prior record.
A simple warning was not sufficient in light of the offender’s history; the offence had to be sanctioned by a driver’s licence withdrawal.
Given the repeated prior warnings and licence withdrawals, the offender’s antecedents justified a more severe administrative measure than a warning.
