Mr. Drug Specialized Attorney, what punishment do I receive for drugged driving?

Hello. I am a drug specialized attorney at Daeryun Law Firm (Limited).

Drugged driving is subject to very heavy criminal punishment.

If you drive while taking drugs, you may be subject to imprisonment for up to 3 years or a fine of up to 10 million won.

In particular, if an accident occurs while driving and another person is injured, the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Crimes applies, and you may be subject to imprisonment for not less than 1 year and not more than 15 years, or a fine of not less than 10 million won and not more than 30 million won.

Reasons such as "it's a tiny amount, so it's okay" or "I didn't feel anything" have almost no effect on the severity of punishment.

Also, if the fact of drug use is confirmed, long-term disadvantages such as license revocation, criminal record, and employment restrictions may also occur.

Therefore, establishing a strategy through consultation with a drug specialized attorney at the early stage of the case is most important.

Since long-term disadvantages such as license revocation and criminal records also occur, it is important to prepare countermeasures through consultation with a drug specialized attorney at the early stage of the case.

For details, please confirm through consultation with a drug specialized attorney.
