Bang in the affair around the Potsdam driver's license office: city admits errors and picks up all the notices.

Bang around the Potsdam driver's license office: The city administration ends all open procedures in favor of those affected and officially admits for the first time: In the case of administrative sheaths, errors have been made-and so serious that all notices have to be lifted and re-checked. Those affected had submitted a complaint and complained that after applying for a disabled parking card to prove their suitability for driving, sensitive health data were misused. The decision was made after receipt of the provisional test results of the Brandenburg State Data Protection Officer. The state data protection officer is currently waiting for a statement by the city of Potsdam.

City Potsdam must check 54 driver's license cases

The application for a parking easier should not have been caused to check the driving suitability. In addition, until recently, the approval of disabled people parking cards and the driving suitability check was in one hand, which should be separated organizationally. 125 people have been victims of this incorrect practice since August 2022. 39 cases in which the procedure has not yet been completed are ended and those affected retain their leaders. 20 people keep their driving license without requirements, 12 people have already died and 13 people have to meet requirements. The driver's license office sets up an extra working group to check the 54 cases precisely.

For those who have had the authority under pressure who have certified that they are no longer suitable for driving, the "healing of incorrect administrative action" brings a Problem with them. These reports cannot be ignored. Overall, the question arises as to why the practice of the driver's license office was justified for so long and why it was not traded earlier. The persons concerned should be addressed and informed about the further procedure.
