Assistance With a Drunk Driving License Revocation | License Revocation for Drunk Driving Reduced to a Suspension

The client's account, learned in detail through a consultation with the drunk driving attorney, is as follows.

The client was driving home in an intoxicated state after drinking with friends.

Shortly afterward, the client encountered police conducting a drunk driving checkpoint and, following the officers' instructions, stopped the vehicle and submitted to a breathalyzer test.

The test result showed that the client's blood alcohol concentration exceeded the threshold, and the client therefore received a disposition revoking his driver's license.

Considering the license revocation disposition somewhat excessive, the client wished to change the disposition through an objection.

The client sought help from a drunk driving attorney in order to receive a concrete solution from an attorney and to succeed in 🔗relief from the license revocation.

The administrative disposition for drunk driving is applied on a graduated basis according to the driver's blood alcohol concentration. The specific dispositions are shown in the table below.

To file an objection to a drunk driving license revocation disposition, a person may file the objection with the Commissioner of the relevant City or Provincial Police Agency within 60 days from the date the disposition was received.

① A person who objects to a disposition revoking or suspending a driver's license, or to a disposition revoking a provisional driver's license, may file an objection with the Commissioner of the City or Provincial Police Agency within 60 days from the date the disposition was received (Article 94 of the Road Traffic Act).
② To ensure fairness, the review of the objection is conducted by the Driver's License Administrative Disposition Objection Review Committee (see Article 96 of the Enforcement Rule of the Road Traffic Act).

After reviewing the submitted objection, the Police Agency Commissioner conducts a reexamination if necessary and follows the procedure of notifying the result.

The client had worked for a long time as a cargo transport worker.

If driving became impossible due to the disposition in this case, the client would no longer be able to perform his work, leaving him unable to earn a living.

On this basis, the attorney emphasized that the operation of a vehicle was absolutely necessary as an important means for the client to maintain his livelihood.

The client had never refused a breathalyzer request or obstructed official duties.

The client also had no prior history of drunk driving, and no victim resulted from this case.

On this basis, the attorney emphasized that mitigation of the license revocation disposition was warranted for the client.

The client is determined never to engage in drunk driving again.

To put this into practice, the client showed continued remorse and completed a drunk driving education course.

The attorney emphasized that the client accurately recognizes his wrongdoing and is making efforts on his own to improve, so the risk of reoffending is low.

In the case above, a client who had received a drunk driving license revocation succeeded in having the disposition changed through the assistance of an attorney.
