Second Drunk Driving Offense Assistance Case | A Non-Referral Decision for a Second Drunk Driving Offense Client

The client was an office worker in his fifties who, after returning home from work, parked his vehicle in front of his house and was drinking inside the car.

However, a passerby who witnessed this mistook it for drunk driving and reported it, so the police were dispatched to the scene.

A breath test was then conducted, and the blood alcohol concentration was measured at 0.18%.

However, the client appealed that he had not actually engaged in drunk driving and that he had been drinking inside the vehicle after finishing parking.

Because he also had a prior record of drunk driving, in a situation where there was a possibility of an actual custodial sentence as a second drunk driving offense, he judged that it was difficult to respond alone any longer and requested the assistance of a criminal attorney at Daeryun.

The main cases in which a driver's license is revoked due to drunk driving are as follows.

The criminal attorney first closely reviewed the travel route and the time taken when leaving work in order to support the client's argument.

As a result of a comprehensive analysis of the surrounding traffic conditions and distance, it was possible to prove that the time taken to leave work was short and that it would be unreasonable to find that the client had been drinking inside the workplace before leaving.

The criminal attorney also secured the client's workplace environment and coworker statements and emphasized that there was in fact no place at the workplace where drinking could occur, and that the coworkers who had worked together likewise consistently stated that the client had not drunk before leaving work.

The client consistently stated from the beginning that the client drank inside the vehicle after finishing driving.

The criminal attorney explained that there was a possibility that the client's judgment had been clouded at the time of the breathalyzer test, resulting in an error in part of the statement.

In response, the attorney emphasized that it is not reasonable to deny the credibility of the entire statement based solely on a simple retraction of a statement.

When a person is caught drunk driving two or more times and is regarded as a repeat offender, the person becomes subject to aggravated punishment.

In particular, if a person is caught drunk driving two or more times within 10 years, criminal punishment under the Road Traffic Act becomes even stricter, and the likelihood of an actual custodial sentence also increases.

In addition, because such cases lead not only to criminal punishment but also to administrative dispositions such as license revocation and suspension, it is very important to prepare a systematic response strategy with the assistance of a specialized attorney.

Based on extensive experience with repeat drunk driving cases, Daeryun LLC closely analyzes the client's specific circumstances and evidence and presents a defense strategy suited to the situation.
