MPU-Industrie in Deutschland – Rechtliche Pflicht oder lukratives System?

Attorney Henning Hartmann examines the economic dimensions of the MPU (Medical-Psychological Assessment) industry in Germany and explains why legally obtaining a new EU driver's license can still lead to circumvention of the MPU, despite a new EU directive.

Hartmann & Partner in Oranienburg, www.ra-hartmann.de "The MPU industry in Germany is the topic today. Dear viewers, welcome back to my YouTube channel. I'm glad you've tuned in. My name is Henning Hartmann, and I'm a specialist lawyer for traffic law and criminal law in Oranienburg. The MPU (Medical-Psychological Assessment) is such a hot topic in Germany for many drivers, especially in connection with EU driver's licenses. I've therefore looked into the figures and come across some alarming information. For example, it's said that the MPU preparation companies and assessors generate well over €750 million annually. This is, of course, a huge market, which is then fiercely defended. Often, inaccurate information is used to distract from the fact that the MPU can be legally circumvented by legally obtaining a foreign EU driver's license. The fact is: In Germany, as in every other European country, drunk driving is punished immediately, and then there's a driving ban. After this ban expires, the MPU can be revoked." The driving ban period is usually around a year, after which the driver's license is reissued in every other EU country. In Germany, they've recently decided to do things differently. The response is, "No, before reissuing the license, we'll check your fitness to drive." This brings the MPU (Medical-Psychological Assessment), and now proof of abstinence comes into play. As you know, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) has ruled that if an EU member state determines someone's fitness to drive, this becomes irrelevant, and they can then drive again in Germany with their foreign EU driver's license. Incidentally, this also applies under the 4th EU Driving Licence Directive; nothing has changed with the new directive. But now you can get an idea of ​​why genuine economic interests in Germany are deliberately suppressing this knowledge—that is, the legal circumvention of the MPU through EU driver's licenses. Huge profits are being made in this area. One could debate for nights on end whether the MPU makes sense or not. I am explicitly not taking a position; I am only responsible for providing legal advice. If you have any questions, please feel free to follow the links below. Box.
