Driving ban (without relevant previous entries in the driving aptitude register -FAER-)
If you have been banned from driving for the first time in the fine notice, you can decide for yourself within four months when to return your driving license to your authority for official safekeeping. The driving ban takes effect no later than four months after it becomes legally binding (14 days after notification of the fine notice). You are liable to prosecution (driving without a license) if you still drive a motor vehicle.
Driving ban (with relevant previous entries in the driving aptitude register -FAER-)
If a driving ban has been enforced against you in the past two years, the new driving ban will take effect from the date on which it becomes legally binding (14 days after notification of the decision). This means that your driving license must be surrendered by this time at the latest and you may no longer drive a motor vehicle under any circumstances.
A driving license is withdrawn on the basis of a criminal law decision. A driving ban may be offset against this.
Please contact the fines office. In exceptional cases, you can also contact the police.
