I have had a traffic accident complaint filed against me. I wonder whether writing a traffic accident letter of reflection would make leniency possible...

Speeding falls under the 12 categories of gross-negligence traffic accidents, and even if insurance has handled the matter, it may be subject to criminal punishment.

The level of punishment corresponds to imprisonment without labor for not more than 5 years or a fine of not more than 20 million won, and in the current situation, in order to obtain leniency, it is important to secure as many mitigating factors as possible.

One of the factors that the Supreme Court's Sentencing Commission cites as a mitigating factor for traffic crimes is genuine remorse or substantial recovery of the damage (including a deposit with an official depository) and the absence of any prior criminal punishment.

Therefore, if you face the risk of punishment after a traffic accident complaint is filed, the factors considered in sentencing include not only insurance handling but also whether you have reached an amicable settlement with the victim, and if you submit documents proving such things as a traffic accident letter of reflection expressing a remorseful attitude and a plan to prevent recurrence, you may be able to induce mitigation.
