When and how does seizure occur in Zoetermeer?
In Zoetermeer, the police act immediately in the seizure of the driving license by the police or the Public Prosecutor's Office (article 130 WVW 1994), especially on busy roads such as the A12 or N44 in case of suspected unfitness due to alcohol, drugs, or fatigue. The physical driving license is confiscated and forwarded to the CBR in Zoetermeer for expedited examination. Local teams from the Zoetermeer police act swiftly to ensure safety on roads around Stadionplein and shopping areas.
Procedure and options in Zoetermeer
- Zoetermeer police decide on the spot during checks; you immediately receive a letter for CBR examination at the CBR office in the region.
- Within 14 days, you can apply for a temporary driving license from the Public Prosecutor's Office in The Hague, which handles many cases from Zoetermeer.
- If not returned, suspension or revocation follows, impacting commuting in the region.
Duration of examination: maximum 6 months, with costs fully at your expense. Failure to cooperate with the examination results in immediate suspension. Difference from regular CBR suspension: police in Zoetermeer operate acutely and physically, while CBR works administratively from Rijswijk. Criminal prosecution often follows via the District Court of The Hague. Insurers in the region report incidents, leading to higher premiums for Zoetermeer drivers. File an objection promptly with the Public Prosecutor's Office within one week, supported by medical evidence from local general practitioners or Ikazia Hospital. This prevents long-term mobility issues in and around Zoetermeer. ### Arslan & Arslan Advocaten **Arslan & Arslan Advocaten** provides professional legal guidance and support for your legal matters. - Website: [www.arslan.nl](https://arslan.nl) - Email: [info@arslan.nl](mailto:info@arslan.nl) - Free initial consultation
