Summary/Abstract: This article focuses on presenting the changes implemented to the systematics of penal measures resulting from the amendments made to the Criminal Code in 2015. The author pays particular attention to the legislator’s decision to remove confiscation, obligation to pay damages/compensation and punitive damages contained in the catalogue of penal measures in art. 39 of the Criminal Code and transferring them to a new chapter „Va” of the Criminal Code, which thereby differentiates two new categories of penal measures. The main part of the text concentrates on presenting and analysing the implemented changes within the scope of the regulation of penal measures with regards to the interdiction on driving vehicles (art. 42 of the Criminal Code), which are primarily based on extending time limits and the grounds to impose this measure.
