Correct answer
C. 3 months.
Explanation
The question is about the period for which the starost (head of the district authority) retains the driving licence after the speed limit is exceeded by more than 50 km/h in a built-up area. The decision is issued for a period of 3 months - answer C.
The Vehicle Drivers Act states that the starost issues a decision to retain the driving licence when the driver has exceeded the speed limit by more than 50 km/h in a built-up area or on a single-carriageway two-way road outside a built-up area, and that this decision is issued for a period of 3 months and made immediately enforceable. The period is fixed - the starost cannot shorten it or extend it because of the circumstances, and answers A and B give values that are not in the Act. The three months are counted from the day the police officer retained the document. Anyone who drives a vehicle during this time anyway loses their entitlement - the starost issues a decision to revoke it. Exceeding the limit by more than 50 km/h in town means, for example, 101 km/h with a limit of 50 - such a speed on a street with pedestrians is truly deadly, which is why the rule is so strict.
