Having committed drunk driving, I would like to receive a drunk driving consultation. I have already completed the police investigation, and now they are telling me to come in for the prosecution's investigation... I absolutely must not let it go all the way to a criminal trial, so is there any way to obtain a non-prosecution disposition or a suspension of indictment before a criminal trial? And if I receive a suspension of indictment for drunk driving, does that mean no criminal record remains? I would appreciate an answer from an attorney who is good at drunk driving consultations.

I will answer regarding a suspension of indictment for drunk driving. First, I recommend that you proceed with a drunk driving consultation.
The Road Traffic Act relating to drunk driving treats even a blood alcohol concentration of just 0.03% as drunk driving.
However, the level of punishment also varies depending on the blood alcohol concentration at the time of driving,
If your reading at the time you were caught was 0.03% or more and less than 0.08%, you could receive imprisonment for not more than one year or a fine of not more than 5 million won.
Where the blood alcohol concentration reading is low, where it is a first offense, where no accident occurred, and depending on the degree of remorse, there may be a possibility of obtaining a suspension of indictment for drunk driving at the prosecutor's discretion before a criminal trial.
In order to obtain a suspension of indictment for drunk driving, submitting a petition or a letter of apology seeking leniency, as well as a certificate of completion of preventive education to prevent a recurrence of drunk driving, can also increase the possibility of leniency, and a suspension of indictment also leaves no criminal record and allows the case to be concluded quickly before a criminal trial.
Therefore, before the prosecution's investigation, through a drunk driving consultation we recommend that, with the assistance of an attorney specializing in drunk driving, you identify the issues that will work in your favor and prepare by conducting a mock investigation simulation with a specialist attorney in the mock investigation room set up within Daeryun Law LLC.
