What will a police officer do if, during a roadside inspection,it is established that you have exceeded the speed limit by more than 50 km/h in a built-up area, but this was done in order to save someone's life?
Explanation
Correct answer: Will not withhold your driving licence.
The police officer will refrain from confiscating the driving licence because acting in a state of necessity to save a human life nullifies the criminality of the act. This is a special circumstance provided for in Art. 135 para. 1aa of the Road Traffic Act. However, the driver must prove that such a situation actually occurred.
