1. The Client Who Received a Chuncheon Attorney Recommendation

Driving Without a License, Explained by a Chuncheon Attorney
🔗Driving without a license refers to operating a motor vehicle without a valid driver's license. A person whose driver's license has been revoked is also punished for driving without a license if that person operates a motor vehicle.
A person who operates a motor vehicle without having obtained a driver's license, or while the validity of the license is suspended, may be punished by imprisonment of up to one year or a fine of up to three million won.
A person who violates the prohibition on driving without a license, or the prohibition on driving during the period in which the license is suspended, and is sentenced to a fine or heavier penalty may not reacquire a driver's license until the following period passes from the date of the violation (or, where the license was revoked for driving during the suspension period, from the date of revocation).
However, where a person causes the death or injury of another in a 🔗accident while driving without a license and then fails to fulfill the duty to take measures at the scene of the accident, that person may not obtain a driver's license within five years from the date of the violation.

2. Assistance for a Client Seeking an Attorney Recommendation in Chuncheon
The attorney undertook the defense to protect the client from punishment.
Strategy 1. Arguing That the Offense Was Not Planned in Advance
The client runs a small business together with his wife.
On the day of the incident, the shop had run out of supplies and he urgently needed to go and buy more, but there was no one else who could help.
The nearest store to the client's shop was more than thirty minutes away on foot one way.
In that situation, the client impulsively committed this act of driving without a license.
The attorney requested leniency, emphasizing that the client had not committed the offense with deliberate, premeditated intent.
Strategy 2. Arguing That the Driving Was for the Sake of His Livelihood
The client currently carries a considerable amount of debt and sustains his livelihood by running the shop diligently together with his wife.
On the day of this incident as well, he committed the offense unavoidably in order to keep the shop running.
The attorney requested leniency, emphasizing that the offense was one the client had committed unavoidably for the sake of his livelihood.
3. Client Receives a Minor Fine
The client was sentenced to a minor fine, bringing the matter to a close.
The client explained that, “My financial circumstances were difficult, so even a large fine would have been a heavy burden. I was able to obtain this result because my attorney presented my circumstances well in my defense.”
Driving without a license is one of the more serious offenses, as it can lead to detention where a person has been punished three or more times, has a history of other traffic offenses, or where an accident occurs while driving without a license.
