Correct answer
C. Revoke the driving entitlement for a period of 5 years from the date of establishing that fact.
Explanation
The question is about driving a vehicle despite a decision to retain the driving licence that has been extended to 6 months. In that case, the starost (head of the district authority) issues a decision on the revocation of driving entitlement - answer C.
The Vehicle Drivers Act states that if a person has driven a vehicle despite the retention of their driving licence, for example for exceeding the speed limit by more than 50 km/h in a built-up area, the starost extends the retention period to 6 months. If the person also drives during this extended period, the starost issues a decision on the revocation of driving entitlement. Further extensions by 6 months (answer A) or 3 months (answer B) are not provided for. Answer C mentions a period of 5 years, although the current Act does not set such a period - after revocation, you have to meet all the requirements again as for a first driving licence, including the course and the exam.
