The suspension of the exercise of the right to drive for a period of 120 days applies for:

A failure to stop at the level crossing with the current railway when the barriers or semi‑barriers are lowered or in the process of being lowered or when the red light and/or sound signals are in operation;
B failure to respect the meaning of the yellow colour of the traffic light;
C exceeding by more than 70 km/h the maximum speed allowed on that road section and for the category to which the driven motor vehicle belongs.

Explanation

For answer  A 

Failure to stop at the level crossing with the current railway when the barriers or semi‑barriers are lowered or in the process of being lowered or when the red light and/or sound signals are in operation constitutes a contravention and is sanctioned with the fine provided in class IV of sanctions and with the suspension of the exercise of the right to drive for a period of 120 days.


For answer  B 

Failure to respect the meaning of the yellow colour of the traffic light constitutes a contravention and is sanctioned with the fine provided in class I of sanctions. For this contravention the suspension of the exercise of the right to drive does NOT apply.

For answer  C 


Exceeding by more than 70 km/h the maximum speed allowed on that road section and for the category to which the driven motor vehicle belongs constitutes a contravention and is sanctioned with the fine provided in class IV of sanctions and with the suspension of the exercise of the right to drive for a period of 120 days.
