Art. 54 SVG

Stellt die Polizei Fahrzeuge im Verkehr fest, die nicht zugelassen sind, deren Zustand oder Ladung den Verkehr gefährden oder die vermeidbaren Lärm erzeugen, so verhindert sie die Weiterfahrt. Sie kann den Fahrzeugausweis abnehmen und nötigenfalls das Fahrzeug sicherstellen.

Die Polizei kann schwere Motorwagen zum Gütertransport, welche die vorgeschriebene Mindestgeschwindigkeit nicht erreichen können, anhalten und zur Umkehr verpflichten.

Befindet sich ein Fahrzeugführer in einem Zustand, der die sichere Führung des Fahrzeugs ausschliesst, oder darf er aus einem andern gesetzlichen Grund nicht fahren, so verhindert die Polizei die Weiterfahrt und nimmt den Führerausweis ab.

Hat sich ein Motorfahrzeugführer durch grobe Verletzung wichtiger Verkehrsregeln als besonders gefährlich erwiesen, so kann ihm die Polizei auf der Stelle den Führerausweis abnehmen.

Von der Polizei abgenommene Ausweise sind sofort der Entzugsbehörde zu übermitteln; diese entscheidet unverzüglich über den Entzug. Bis zu ihrem Entscheid hat die Abnahme eines Ausweises durch die Polizei die Wirkung des Entzugs.

Stellt die Polizei Fahrzeuge im Verkehr fest, die nicht den Bestimmungen über die Personenbeförderung oder die Zulassung als Strassentransportunternehmen entsprechen, so kann sie die Weiterfahrt verhindern, den Fahrzeugausweis abnehmen und nötigenfalls das Fahrzeug sicherstellen.
