Driving disqualification

Summary/Abstract: This article presents a driving ban in the context of the amendments of the Criminal Code from 1997. The changes concerning the penal measure have tightened criminal responsibility by introducing, among other a driving ban imposed on forever (art. 42 § 3 and 4 k.k.) and which led to increase of the number of legal grounds for adjudication under a mandatory ban. Obligatory character of the penal measure adversily affects the freedom of decision of the court leading to automatic and schematic delivering judgement. Regulations of de facto lifelong driving ban is inconsistent with other provisions of the Criminal Code, including possibility of seizure of conviction (art. 107 § 6 k.k.).
