Quotation: Court confirms withdrawal of driving licences for passengers Passengers under the influence of alcohol and drugs must expect to lose their driving licences in a police control. However, the prerequisite for this is that both the consumption of alcohol and cannabis can be proven to the controller. As the Administrative Court of Stuttgart reported, the Verwaltungsgerichtshof (VGH) dismissed a man’s complaint against a corresponding judgment of the Verwaltungsgericht vom vergan The 23-year-old had filed a complaint against the immediate withdrawal of his driving licence ordered by the Landratsamt Böblingen in September 2005. The man had been checked by the police as a passenger in February. A blood examination revealed 1.39 promille and the reference to regular cannabis consumption. The administrative court ruled that the Landratsamt had decided to give the 23-year-old a driving licence. The court further argued that the withdrawal of the driving licence was permissible even without a medical-psychological opinion. The court did not allow the objection of the 23-year-old that he had been a passenger in the incident and that he had therefore been able to separate between consumption and driving. In view of the general danger to the general public by the participation of the man, the court did not allow the court to apply. There is a public interest in driving the driver’s license.
