Dear lawyer,
I am contacting you because I am unsure if I can keep my driver's license despite having points in Flensburg. In the past, I have committed several traffic offenses and accumulated points in Flensburg as a result. Recently, I was caught speeding again and now I am afraid of losing my driver's license.
Currently, there are 6 points in my Flensburg traffic offender file. I rely on my driver's license for work and cannot imagine any alternative to driving. The thought of losing my driver's license is causing me great concern and uncertainty.
Are there any ways to keep my driver's license despite the points in Flensburg? What actions could I take to improve my situation and prevent a possible revocation of my driving permit? I am willing to take all necessary steps to not lose my right to mobility.
Thank you in advance for your help and I am looking forward to your assessment and possible solutions.
Sincerely,
Isabel Otten
Dear Ms. Otten,
Thank you for your inquiry regarding your driver's license and the points in Flensburg. It is understandable that you are concerned and worried about your mobility, especially since you depend on your driver's license for work.
First of all, it is important to know that the number of points in Flensburg does not automatically lead to the revocation of the driver's license. However, there are certain threshold values, exceeding which may result in action by the driver's license authority. In your case, with 6 points, it is advisable to take proactive measures to prevent a possible revocation of your driver's license.
To improve your situation, you could, for example, participate in a voluntary driver aptitude seminar. This seminar can help you reduce your points and thus increase your chances of retaining your driver's license. Furthermore, it is important to be aware of the traffic offenses that led to the points and avoid them in the future. A defensive and anticipatory driving style can help avoid further violations.
It is also recommended to consult a traffic law attorney in a timely manner who can advise and represent you in your specific case. Together, possible strategies can be developed to improve your situation and prevent the revocation of your driver's license.
In any case, it is important to maintain communication with the driver's license authority and take all necessary steps to retain your driver's license. However, keep in mind that traffic regulations are individual and depend on various factors. Personal advice from a specialist attorney can help you find the best possible solution for your concern.
I hope this information is helpful to you and I am available for further questions.
Sincerely,
Jessica Lange
