1. The client who came on a Gunsan attorney recommendation

The Gunsan attorney took on the client's defense against punishment.
Punishment for drunk driving explained by a Gunsan attorney
🔗The punishment for drunk driving is set out in the Road Traffic Act.
In the case of a first-time drunk driving offender, the punishment is differentiated according to the following blood alcohol concentrations.
- Blood alcohol concentration of 0.2 percent or higher: imprisonment with labor for at least two years and up to five years, or a fine of at least 10 million won and up to 20 million won
- Blood alcohol concentration of at least 0.08 percent and less than 0.2 percent: imprisonment with labor for at least one year and up to two years, or a fine of at least 5 million won and up to 10 million won
- Blood alcohol concentration of at least 0.03 percent and less than 0.08 percent: imprisonment with labor for up to one year, or a fine of up to 5 million won
A person who receives a sentence carrying a fine or heavier for drunk driving and commits the offense again within ten years from the date on which that sentence becomes final receives more severe punishment than a first-time offender.
- Blood alcohol concentration of 0.2 percent or higher: imprisonment with labor for at least two years and up to six years, or a fine of at least 10 million won and up to 30 million won
- Blood alcohol concentration of at least 0.03 percent and less than 0.2 percent: imprisonment with labor for at least one year and up to five years, or a fine of at least 5 million won and up to 20 million won
