Book IV: Road Rules

TITLE I - MAIN OFFENSES:

---

Article 1 - Reading of the Law
1. This book stipulates the penalties which are theoretically those incurred for the offenses mentioned. This book does not define the said offenses if there is a contradiction with another book: the book of sentences will be erased and leave "priority reading & application" to the other book. The application of this priority is an interpretation of the law and is, therefore, the responsibility of the Judge Magistrate.

2. The amount of a fine for any of the facts mentioned in this title cannot be increased or lowered (except by a Judge). In case of finding an offense punishable exclusively by a fine and/or a withdrawal of points (or even the license), the appeal to a Magistrate is not necessary, the measure can be taken by the police on the spot

3. Any dispute of fine/withdrawal of points/withdrawal of license/shoe placement, cannot be the subject of a complaint immediately.
An administrative challenge must first be formulated, and it will be handled by the Office of the Prosecutor who will have the choice to:
- Make inquire the file (in case of abuse of the agent)
- Reject the application
- Accept the request and require the LSPD or the LSSD to compensate the complainant.
A challenge of a fine does not constitute a complaint, so even if the challenge is denied, there is a possibility to file a complaint about the case to be heard.

4. The withdrawal of permits is possible in the following cases:
- Judge's decision following a trial.
- Authorization of the Prosecutor following the commission of at least one traffic offense
- Finding officer's decision following 3 (at least) infringements of the Highway Traffic Act
- Deciding officer's decision as a result of traffic offense (s) globally punishable by a withdrawal of 6pts (or more) on the driver's license and/or a $2,000 fine (or more).
