When the penal composition consists of the surrender of the driving licence or hunting licence, this is done by the person concerned, within the time limit set, either at the clerk’s office of the judicial court or to the person designated by the public prosecutor, who is responsible for returning the document to the court clerk’s office. In exchange for his permit, he will be given a receipt.
When the provisions of the second paragraph of article R. 15-33-41, in exchange for his or her licence, the person concerned shall be issued with a certificate containing the information specified in articles R. 131-2 ou R. 131-4 of the Criminal Code, the references to the court decision provided for in these articles being replaced by references to the decision to validate the penal composition.
When the person has been subject to an administrative measure to withhold or suspend their driving licence pursuant to the provisions of the articles L. 224-1 et seq. of the Highway Code, and their licence is held by the administrative authority, they shall provide proof of this to the clerk of the judicial court. In this case, the suspension ceases to have effect on expiry of the period set in application of 4° of article 41-2. If the provisions of the second paragraph of article R. 15-33-41 are applied, the certificate provided for in the second paragraph of this article is given to the interested party.
Police services or gendarmerie units that find that a person has not complied with their undertaking not to drive or hunt will draw up a report, which will be sent to the public prosecutor as soon as possible. The same applies if it is found that the person has not complied with one of the prohibition measures provided for in 9°, 10° and 11° of article 41-2.
