The Court confirmed that the margin of manoeuvre of the withdrawing State is limited to circumstances after the issue of the second license. Case law has given a strict interpretation of the principle of mutual recognition—so strict that one wonders whether there might not be European legal paths to sidestep limits to the right to drive after serious offenses, such as drunk driving.
