[Exceptions for revoking the driver's license of alcohol intoxicated drivers at apprehension and during initial withdrawal].

Abstract

Exceptions from the withdrawal of permission to drive should be allowed primarily to first offenders. In case of alcohol conspicuous first offenders a post-schooling course has a positive influence to exceptions, if a favourable prognosis for the future can be made especially in case of total abstinence instead of "Controlled Drinking": In spite of longstanding good reputation (minimum 25 years) exceptions to the withdrawal of permission to drive are excluded if the blood alcohol concentration exceeded 1.8/1000.
