Procedure details

Persons who hold a probationary driving license and who have again committed a traffic offence after attending a special advanced training seminar may be ordered by the driving license authority to attend a traffic psychology consultation.

Counselling may only be carried out by persons who are officially recognized. Persons who have confirmation from the Traffic Psychology Section of the Professional Association of German Psychologists that they meet the relevant requirements are deemed to be officially recognized.

Withdrawal or revocation of recognition will be issued by the government of the Upper Palatinate if the relevant requirements are not (or no longer) met.

  1. Withdrawal: one of the conditions for recognition was not met at the time of confirmation, or personal reliability was not present at that time; if the deficiency no longer exists, withdrawal may be waived.
  2. Revocation: one of the conditions for recognition has subsequently ceased to apply, the traffic psychology consultations were not carried out properly or if there has been a gross breach of the obligations arising from the recognition or conditions.

As a rule, the government of the Upper Palatinate acts on the advice of the Traffic Psychology Section of the Professional Association of German Psychologists. The license holder is given the opportunity to comment (hearing).

As a rule, the permit holder is given four weeks to submit his statement.

The administrative court action is available as a legal remedy.
