Under the current law the disqualification term is not shortened: it is impossible to “buy out” the licence or get it back earlier, and a promise of that is a sign of fraud. The real mechanisms are: win the case in the first-instance court or have the ruling quashed on appeal.

Driving under the influence or refusing a medical examination (Art. 130 of the Code of Administrative Offences), leaving the scene of an accident, repeated gross violations. For some articles the sanction is alternative: a fine is possible instead of disqualification, and that is worth fighting for.

This is a separate offence with stricter liability: a large fine, and for a repeat offence up to administrative arrest. It is not worth the risk: better to invest in the defence in the underlying case.

Yes, if the disqualification lasted 12 months or more: the licence is returned after a check of knowledge and skills. A medical examination is also required. We will explain the procedure for your situation at the consultation.

File an appeal within 10 days of the date the ruling was issued. In the appeal you can point to inadmissible evidence, procedural violations and incorrect application of the law. A missed deadline is restored only for valid reasons.

Yes, some cases are closed: because of violations of the examination procedure, inadmissible evidence, errors in the protocol, expiry of the time limits. But every case is individual: we will give an honest assessment after analysing your documents.
