Cheonan Drunk Driving Attorney | Assisting a Client in the Delivery Business and Obtaining a Small Fine for Drunk Driving

The client, feeling continuous fatigue and stress from the demanding delivery work, took a brief rest at the suggestion of an acquaintance, drank a small amount of alcohol, and fell asleep.

After waking up four hours later, the client thought it would be fine since home was close by, and the accident occurred while the client was driving.

The client caused an accident while driving with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.03% at the time, inflicting injury on the victim.

The client, who was driving in the second lane at a three-way intersection, attempted a forced right turn and collided with the victim's vehicle coming in the third lane.

The collision destroyed both the front bumper and the windshield of the victim's vehicle and inflicted on the victim an injury requiring three weeks of treatment.

The client got out of the car, staggering, and checked the victim's condition.

At that point, the victim, complaining of pain, called 119, and the police were dispatched and began a breath alcohol test of the client at the scene.

In the end, the client was booked by the police on a charge of drunk driving with a blood alcohol concentration reading of 0.03%.

The attorney explained that no person may drive a motor vehicle or the like while in an intoxicated state.

The intoxicated state in which driving is prohibited is 0.03% or higher, which is the situation applicable to the client.

If a person drives a motor vehicle or the like while in an intoxicated state and commits any of the following acts, the driver's license is revoked.

2. Driving while heavily intoxicated (blood alcohol concentration of 0.08%)

3. A person who has driven, two or more times, beyond the standard for an intoxicated state or has refused a test for an intoxicated state, and then drives again while in an intoxicated state (blood alcohol concentration of 0.03% or higher)

The client fell under the relevant provision and was in the worst situation, facing punishment at the level of license revocation as well as the possibility of aggravated punishment because the client had injured a person.

In particular, because another license revocation could shake the future livelihood of the client, who was working in the delivery business, the attorney had to prepare for trial all the more thoroughly.

The attorney earnestly urged that one must not drive under the influence.

After drinking, one must avoid driving by calling a designated driver or using public transportation.

In addition, during a drunk driving crackdown, one undergoes an accurate measurement through a breath test or blood collection at the request of the police. At this time, one should be as cooperative as possible.

It is important to actively provide rescue measures for the victim and to obtain a sincere apology and settlement to lower the level of punishment.

For an amicable settlement with the victim, receiving the assistance of an attorney can be more effective than proceeding on one's own.
