1. The Client Who Sought a Changwon Drunk Driving Attorney

This is the story of a client who consulted a Changwon drunk driving attorney.

The client said that he had a prior record of being sentenced to a fine twice for drunk driving.

He requested assistance in defending against a sentence of imprisonment with labor, stating that he had driven drunk once again and had been caught for the third time.

In this case, the client drove drunk out of a complacent thought that it would be fine since the distance was short.

According to the client, he drove his passenger car while intoxicated with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.126 percent over a stretch of about 100 m.

The client expressed worry about his elderly mother, whom he must support, and the company work for which he is responsible, and said that he absolutely had to avoid a sentence of imprisonment with labor.

2. Changwon Drunk Driving Attorney: The Level of Punishment for the Client

The client of the Changwon drunk driving attorney was caught driving under the influence for the third time, and the blood alcohol concentration at the time of detection was 0.126%.

Road Traffic Act Article 44 (Prohibition of Driving While Intoxicated)

(1) No person shall drive a motor vehicle, a tram, or a bicycle while intoxicated.

Road Traffic Act Article 148-2 (Penal Provisions)

(3) A person who drives a motor vehicle or a tram while intoxicated in violation of Article 44 (1) shall be punished according to the following classifications.

1. A person whose blood alcohol concentration is 0.2 percent or higher shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than 2 years but not more than 5 years, or by a fine of not less than 10 million won but not more than 20 million won.

2. A person whose blood alcohol concentration is 0.08 percent or higher but lower than 0.2 percent shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than 1 year but not more than 2 years, or by a fine of not less than 5 million won but not more than 10 million won.

3. A person whose blood alcohol concentration is 0.03 percent or higher but lower than 0.08 percent shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than 1 year, or by a fine of not more than 5 million won.

Under the Road Traffic Act, the client faced imprisonment for not less than 1 year but not more than 2 years, or a fine of not less than 5 million won but not more than 10 million won, and because the client had a prior record of the same type of offense, the punishment was expected to be more severe than in other circumstances.

3. The Changwon Drunk Driving Attorney's Defense of the Client

The Changwon drunk driving attorney provided the following representation in order to help the client avoid a sentence of imprisonment.

Changwon Drunk Driving Attorney: The Client's Sincere Remorse

The client of the Changwon drunk driving attorney willingly complied with the police officer's request for a breath test at the time the incident occurred, and afterward cooperated actively with all investigative procedures.

Worried about his elderly mother whom he had to support and about the company duties for which he was responsible, and fearful of punishment, the client belatedly came to regret his wrongdoing deeply and spent each day in reflection.

Changwon Drunk Driving Attorney: The Client's Efforts to Prevent Reoffending

The client of the Changwon drunk driving attorney was deeply disappointed in himself and was blaming himself for committing the offense through a single lapse in judgment.

To prevent reoffending, the client did not touch a single drop of alcohol after this incident and completed an educational program on the prevention of drunk driving.

In addition, the client visited a psychiatric clinic to receive treatment for alcohol dependence and made every effort to prevent reoffending.

On top of this, the client planned to dispose of the vehicle he had been driving in order to eliminate any possibility of drunk driving at its source.

After hearing the arguments of the Changwon drunk driving attorney, the court imposed a suspended sentence on the client.

Although the client had already been punished twice for drunk driving and had reoffended, such that a prison sentence would have been appropriate this time, the court suspended execution of the sentence on the grounds that the client showed a reflective attitude and was making efforts to prevent reoffending.

As a third-time drunk driving offender, the client had been expected to find it difficult to avoid a prison sentence, but with the assistance of the Changwon drunk driving attorney was able to avoid 🔗punishment for drunk driving.

Drunk driving is an offense that can pose considerable danger to the bodies and property of others, and it is punished severely.

In particular, as in this case, where the offender is a repeat or third-time offender, the severity of punishment increases further, and so it is important to seek the assistance of a drunk driving attorney and respond as soon as one is suspected.

When facing such suspicion, the assistance of a drunk driving attorney may be requested.
