The AWHelp24 service was contacted by the "heavy truck" driver. Recently he was stopped by the German police and who declared, that he didn´t have a driving license.
The man says that all his documents were in order and he had never heard of such a problem before. Together with AWHelp24 specialists we analyze, how this might be possible and what you could do in such a case.
In this situation, there are two possible options why this has happened.
- Perhaps the driver had his driving license suspended for a certain period. Upon expiration of the suspension the man simple started to drive again. "You can't do that in Germany, ”says an AWHelp24 expert. - "After the period of deprivation has expired, the right to drive must be restored first."
In order to do this, it is necessary to comply with a number of local government requirements. These requirements depend on the offense. For example, if you were disqualified from driving because of alcohol, you have to take regular psychological tests. And only after that you will have the opportunity to restore your driving license.
- It can also happen, that the drivers vehicle got hooked on something, while it was in its "dead zone" - a wall, a fence or another vehicle. He might not have noticed it himself, but the incident was recorded by someone or something. A criminal case for running from the scene can be initiated on this fact, accordingly, the driver loses his driving license.
In any case, if you have previously been disqualified from driving, before you go on a trip, you should clarify whether you have a legal right to do so again. Moreover, the requirements and rules are different everywhere and have their own specifics.
AWHelp24 specialists will help you to avoid getting lost in the flow of information and make sure that any dispute with the local police is resolved quickly and objectively.
