Redobtaining the driving licence SUSPENDED

We must make from the beginning the distinction between the following terms:

• The suspension of the driving licence - is the suspension of the exercise of the right to drive and is made for a limited period of time, usually for 30, 60, 90 or 120 days. In this case, depending on the act committed, it is possible that it is mandatory to take an exam of verification of the knowledge of the traffic rules or, if the exam is not mandatory, you can take it, if you wish, for the purpose of reducing the suspension period by one third. More details you will find on this page, below;
• THE CANCELLATION of the driving licence - is a technical-administrative measure which consists in the abolition of the document, in which case you remain definitively without the driving licence, and in order to have again the right to drive you must go again through the process of obtaining the driving licence. For driving licence CANCELLED enter here --> Redobtaining cancelled driving licence.

In the following we will talk about the case in which your driving licence has been SUSPENDED

In the case in which your driving licence has been suspended (more exactly the exercise of the right to drive has been suspended for a limited period of time (30, 60, 90, 120 days, etc.)) you can be in one of the following situations, depending on the act you have committed:

• scenario 1 - it is mandatory to take the exam of verification of the knowledge of the traffic rules, after passing of which, depending on the act committed, you can also make a request to reduce your suspension period by one third;
• scenario 2 - taking the exam of verification of the knowledge of the traffic rules is NOT mandatory but you can take this exam, if you wish, to reduce your suspension period by one third.

It is not at all easy to find the necessary information in order to know what you must do in the case in which the exercise of the right to drive has been suspended, the legislation being very convoluted and dense. That is why we have created a guide, which is found right below, in which we will answer the questions that any driver who has suspended the exercise of the right to drive (driving licence suspended) and who wishes to reduce his suspension period or who does not know whether or not it is mandatory to take the exam of verification of the knowledge of the traffic rules called also “The 13 of 15 Quiz”.
