Consequently, a revised version of the 195/2002 Ordnance was adopted. It states that the prosecutor conducting the prosecution or the court invested in solving the case may extend the right of driving at the request of the holder of the detained driving license. The extension might be sometimes less than 30 days, until the prosecution suspension arrangement, prosecution removal or until the definitive court resolution. The decision on solving an extension of the driving right must be transmitted to the police chief on whose station the infringement has been registered.
Also, the revised regulation stipulates that the circumstances in which the driving license is retained and also the written proof stating the driving right should be consistent with the seriousness of the crime committed and take into account the conditions of the crime. Thus, in cases where the suspension of driving right is a result of using the vehicle with serious defects in the braking or steering mechanisms, the driving-right will be extended for a period of 15 days, taking into account that in some cases the driver does not own the vehicle.
