52It is apparent from the actual wording of Article 8(2) of Directive 91/439, read in conjunction with the first and tenth recitals in the preamble to that directive, that that limitation covers the situation in which the holder of a driving licence has his normal residence in a Member State other than the Member State which issued that licence. In that situation, subject to observance of the principle of territoriality of criminal and police laws, the Member State of normal residence may apply its national provisions on the restriction, suspension, withdrawal or cancellation of the right to drive to the holder of that driving licence and, if necessary, exchange the licence for that purpose.
