It was in early May that the man got stuck for speeding. He was driving 131 km / h on a distance where the maximum permissible speed was 90 km / h, which generally leads to a three-month time limit.

The man appealed the decision to the Swedish Transport Agency, but without hearing. Now the administrative court in Växjö has decided to reduce the lock-up period to two months in view of the man's professional practice.

30 years of dot-free driving

The man stated that what happened was a one-off in low traffic without any risk taking, and that he has 30 years of dot-free driving. The investigation shows that he has no previous history of traffic misconduct.

Regarding the length of the lock-up period, in practice, people who have a great need for a driver's license in their work have been taken into account. The man working as a firefighter has claimed that the driver's license has become more important now in corona times.

The Administrative Court cuts down the deadline by one month.
