Suspension, Point Deduction, and License Revocation: Significant Consequences

License suspension can be decided following serious speeding (40 km/h or more over the limit), drunk driving, or an offense considered serious by the authorities. This measure can be administrative or judicial and take effect very quickly after the facts. When it impacts the driver’s professional or personal life, it becomes essential to act without delay.

Point deduction also constitutes a major issue for many motorists. The points-based license system leads to thousands of automatic deductions and revoked licenses every year. However, certain point losses can be contested when the procedure was not respected or when the identification of the driver remains uncertain.

The invalidation of a driver’s license after a total loss of points can have particularly heavy consequences. For some drivers, notably professional drivers, this decision can jeopardize an entire professional activity. Depending on the circumstances of the case, administrative appeals can be considered to contest certain decisions or limit their effects.

Drunk Driving and Driving Under the Influence of Narcotics: A Technical Defense

Procedures related to drunk driving and driving under the influence of narcotics are among the most frequent cases in traffic criminal law. They can lead to a license suspension, a summons to criminal court, a significant fine, or an ancillary penalty.

Cabinet CARREZ systematically verifies the lawfulness of the checks carried out by law enforcement. Procedures related to alcohol or drug testing are strictly regulated by law. In some cases, measuring devices are not used in accordance with the rules provided by the type-approval specifications, which can lead to errors or irregularities in the procedure.

The objective is to precisely study each case to implement the most effective defense strategy possible. A rapid analysis of the police reports and elements transmitted by the administration often allows for the identification of possible appeals.

Speeding and Contesting Traffic Offenses

Automatic speed cameras and speed checks are at the origin of many administrative and criminal procedures. Every year, millions of points are automatically deducted following violations related to the French Highway Code. However, certain offenses can be contested when there are irregularities in the check or in the procedure followed.

Cabinet CARREZ regularly handles speeding and serious speeding cases, as well as challenges to police reports It is important to remember that a traffic offense should not be automatically admitted without a prior analysis of the case.

In certain situations, errors in driver identification, procedural defects, or irregularities in the use of measuring devices can affect the validity of the penalty. A serious challenge, however, requires a complete study of the case and compliance with the time limits to challenge provided by law.

Each traffic law case presents different challenges. Cabinet CARREZ takes the time to analyze the driver’s situation, the documents received, the police reports, as well as the potential consequences of the procedure on the client’s personal and professional life.
