Legislator summary

AI generated

The Administrative Court ruled that the police authority could maintain a temporary driving ban under the Driving Licence Act. The applicant argued that a medical certificate alone was sufficient to prove fitness to drive, but the court found the police's observations regarding unsafe driving capabilities justified further action. Consequently, the court upheld the decision requiring the applicant to pass a driving test and provide a new medical report.

Asiassa oli hallinto-oikeuden ratkaistavana, onko poliisilaitos voinut ajokorttilain 72 §:n 3 momentin nojalla pitää voimassa poliisimiehen ajokorttilain 70 §:n 1 momentin 4 kohdan nojalla valittajalle määräämän väliaikaisen ajokiellon. Poliisimiehen tekemien havaintojen mukaan valittaja ei ollut kykenevä kuljettamaan ajoneuvoa enää turvallisesti, eikä pelkkä lääkärintodistus ollut riittävä toimenpide ajokunnon avioimiseksi. Poliisilaitos oli valituksenalaisella päätöksellä myös määrännyt 20 §:n 1 momentin nojalla valittajan suorittamaan hyväksytysti ajokokeen ja toimittamaan lääkärinlausunnon kolmen kuukauden kuluttua päätöksen tiedoksisaamisesta.
