Counseling Points (MPU)
Your Situation
If you have selected this web site, you have probably lost your license due to points. You have repeatedly infringed the traffic regulations, have received letters from your driver’s license office, and probably have also visited a special seminar (Aufbauseminar). You have definitely intended to watch out, but you finally have collected more than 18 points. Your driver’s license office has then informed you that your license will be taken away and has only left you the choice of voluntarily handing over the license or risking a costly notification of withdrawal. Should you have consulted a lawyer, he now has told you that he cannot do anything else for you.
The kind of violations which you are accused of can be many-sided. Usually infringements like overspeeding, using the handy, not keeping distance to the vehicle before you or even defects of your car (e.g. worn tires) have burdened your points account. It is however well possible that legal offences like driving without license, a hit-and-run-offence, or a duress have occurred. In rare cases, a DWI with a per thousand of less than 0.16 has taken place which in its own does not qualify for the ordering of an MPU. Irrespective of your concrete points account: it is relevant, if the violations have been negligent or intentional, in which time period they have occurred and if we can speak of relatively minor or major offences.
Your driver’s license office will look into your case carefully, 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 respect the fact that as a professional driver you are dependent on your license? Will he honor your high mileage or experience as a driver? Will he accept that time pressure, stress or urgent obligations have been influential, or will he interpret these contextual factors as feeble excuses? And will he then accuse you of minimizing the events and not accepting responsibility for your own faulty behavior? Are you allowed to tell him that sometimes you were enjoying to speed and that you have consciously risked points? Does the expert finally ask you to present a preparative counseling and what kind of 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 his (her) suggestions. According to your situation, we can then arrange a counseling instantly, or – if this makes sense – at a later time.
The Counseling (MPU - points)
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 points, 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.
It is in any case advisable to contact me or a colleage, since point cases tend to be complex, and important time might be lost with a lack of information. Of course you are free to consult a lawyer, but it is fair to notice that a traffic psychologist can easily communicate with your driver's license office or testing institute for the MPU. Do therefore not hesitate to take action and call me or contact a qualified colleage!
Yours,
Dr. M. Junker
