Many “Krone” readers are demanding a lifelong license suspension for the Rohrbacher who caused a fatal accident after crazy overtaking maneuvers and killed a 28-year-old in Upper Austria. But is that also legally possible? The “Krone” asked and found out that the 49-year-old now has to retake his driver’s license.
“The driver’s license must be revoked for life” – this is how many “Krone” readers reacted to the story about the deceased driver from Kleinzell. As reported, the Rohrbacher (49)’s driver’s license was revoked 20 months after he first graze two cars during crazy overtaking maneuvers on the Rohrbacher Bundesstraße and then “shot” a third – the driver (28) died in it because she crashed into a car. bus thrown.
Is that also legally possible?
But is a lifelong suspension of the driver’s license even legally possible? “Legally, there are different minimum times for driving license revocation for different offenses,” explains Linz ÖAMTC attorney Lukas Thallinger. This means that lifelong deprivation would theoretically be possible, but would not hold up to the appeals bodies. “However, after a withdrawal of more than 18 months, the driver’s license must be renewed,” says Thallinger.
Driving license can be refused
And so the Rohrbacher has to go back to the driving school if the appeal against the decision is unsuccessful. Furthermore, the driving skills and reliability are once again checked by the authorities. And then the issue of the driving license can be refused.
The man from Rohrbach had only a limited driver’s license due to illness and was on the way to the hospital in Linz on the fateful day for a check-up.
