MPU after 8 points or traffic offences

Not every MPU has to do with alcohol or drugs. Many people lose their licence because of points in Flensburg, aggressive driving or criminal offences. In these MPUs the focus is on your attitude towards rules and your behaviour in stressful situations.

The points system in Flensburg

Traffic offences are registered at the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) in Flensburg. The system has several stages:

  • 1 to 3 points: registration only
  • 4 to 5 points: written warning (Ermahnung) — a voluntary driver aptitude seminar can remove 1 point
  • 6 to 7 points: second warning (Verwarnung)
  • 8 points: the licence is withdrawn

After the withdrawal you can apply for a new licence no earlier than 6 months later. The authority will usually require a positive MPU first. The old points are deleted with the withdrawal.

MPU after criminal offences and aggression

According to § 11 (3) FeV, the authority can also order an MPU after considerable or repeated traffic violations and after criminal offences connected with road traffic or showing a high potential for aggression. This includes for example insults and threats in traffic, coercion, hit-and-run, illegal races or violent offences outside traffic.

What counts in the points and offence MPU

  • Do you see your own share — or do you blame others, the police or “bad luck”?
  • Do you understand which attitudes led to the offences, such as time pressure, stress or anger?
  • What have you changed in your daily life and in your driving?
  • How do you react today in situations that used to make you lose control?

A frequent mistake is to minimise the offences. The assessors have your complete register and file. A credible MPU needs an honest view of your own behaviour.

Our preparation

We go through your register entries and your file, work out the patterns behind your offences and develop concrete strategies with you. In the MPU simulation you practise answering critical questions calmly and convincingly.

Frequently asked questions

Do I always need an MPU after 8 points?

In most cases the authority requires a positive MPU before issuing a new licence. Ask the authority early which documents it expects.

How long is the driving ban after 8 points?

You can apply for a new licence no earlier than 6 months after the withdrawal. In practice it often takes longer because the MPU and the authority procedure take time.

Can I still reduce my points?

With 1 to 5 points a voluntary driver aptitude seminar removes 1 point, once every 5 years. With 8 points the licence is already withdrawn and the seminar no longer helps.

I have never had alcohol problems. Do I still need proof?

For a pure points or offence MPU you usually need no lab proof. The focus is on your behaviour, attitude and personal change.
