Counseling Offences (MPU)
Your Situation
If you have selected this website, you will have probably been charged with one or more offences. Maybe you even have lost your license due to them. Maybe you have been able to prevent this with the help of a lawyer, but now your driver’s license office has ordered an MPU. You know that you will lose your license with more than 18 points, but your offence does not have to have occurred while driving. This is of course possible, as in the case of an urging (Nötigung) or an endangering of traffic (Straßenverkehrsgefährdung), but even violations outside of road traffic, as an intentional physical injury (vorsätzliche Körperverletzung) or even offences which seem to have nothing to do with driving, like e.g. cases of fraud or other violations which were followed by a trail and sentence, can be relevant. It finally may have been the case that you have received a suspended sentence or even a prison sentence, and now you have realized that although you have already been “punished”, you additionally have to present an MPU, to save or regain your driver’s license.
Let yourself not be unnerved by this situation. An MPU can always be order, if either several petty infractions (like in the point case) or few, severe violations are present, or if serious, deliberate offences or those with aggressive potential are on file. In such cases, your aptitude (driver’s qualification) is questioned, meaning that it is implied that you may either lack an appropriate sense of what is right, or that you tend or could tend to lose control in provocative situations which you yourself do not have to have caused. All of this does not have to be true in your case, but your file, or the facts being documented in the sentence, will certainly have got you into trouble.
Your driver’s license office will not act arbitrarily in such a situation. It will carefully look into your case, will obtain an actual certificate of good conduct (Berlin) and a summary of points (Flensburg). It will then decide according to the special circumstances, if you need an MPU or not. In many cases, this can already be decided by inspecting the records. Sometimes, it is necessary to phone the person dealing with your affairs at the driver’s license office.
Let us therefore assume that you do have to present an expert evaluation concerning your ability to drive and that you want to prepare yourself thoroughly for it. Are you looking for an expert who can help you along the way? A partner who understands your sorrows and fears, your difficult professional, or maybe even private situation: someone who supports you and escorts you on your way to your driver’s license? Then you are just right here on this site and should read on.
The Informative Consultation
My individual counseling is balanced to your needs. In a first informative consultation, we will get to know each other. I will be able to get to know your case, to study the files, and I will be in the position to present you with an overview about what you will have to expect in the MPU. You will learn about the criteria of a positive MPU, and will understand, what you will be asked for on the day of the MPU.
Will the expert understand your unique situation as a driver? Will he condemn you in advance by just considering the offences you are charged with, or will he give you a fair chance? Will he believe that you are a “criminal” or “aggressive” person, or will he understand the situation you once have been in? Will he interpret the motives of your former behavior as excuses, and will he accuse you of minimizing the issues, of pushing the blame onto other people, thus not taking responsibility for you own mistakes? Are you finally allowed to tell him, that the plight has not been your fault alone, but that a former complex situation on the one hand, and the mistakes of others on the other hand have also had their share in the emergence of the offence? Does the expert finally require you to present an MPU counseling, and with which probation period do you have to reckon with?
Having sorted out your records in a first overview, and having fathomed important perspectives, it is already possible to give a recommendation at the end of the informative consultation. You will be told, if and when an MPU would be a good idea. Should a negative MPU be present, or should you already have taken a counseling with a colleague, we can include the suggestions, he gave you. According to your situation, we can then arrange a counseling instantly, or – if this makes sense – at a later time.
The Counseling (MPU - offences)
Dear visitor of my website,
as you can see, the web project is still under development. It will be finished this year in summer and will permanently be updated, for you to always receive the newest information. Please do understand, that the actual page is presently not yet available. Should you want to know more about my counseling offer concerning offences, you can reach me by e-mail or phone under (089) 291 651 63. You can also check the German page, which will be ahead in the production.
You certainly can always contact you lawyer or aks him to phone me. Please do understand however that a laywer normally cannot prevent an MPU. He can moderate the contact with the driver's license office, can check the detailled conditions of your situation, but only the help of a traffic psychologist will equip you with the insights and answers, relevant in the MPU. It seems there to be indispensable that you consult me or a colleague.
Yours,
Dr. M. Junker
