The Romanian Constitutional Court ruled that judges cannot reduce the suspension period of driving licenses, confirming existing regulations. This decision arose from challenges by two courts in Alba County, which argued for proportionality in sanctions. However, the CCR maintained that judges lack the authority to reassess the severity of penalties. Drivers can still contest the legality of the suspension but cannot argue for a reduction based solely on perceived severity. The ruling clarifies the limits of judicial intervention in traffic sanction cases and emphasizes that the established suspension periods are mandatory based on the nature of the violations.
