Assistance from the Bucheon Law Office | With the Assistance of the Bucheon Law Office, a Drunk Driving Client Received a Suspended Sentence

The client, who came to the Bucheon law office, was caught during enforcement while 🔗drunk driving.

The client had had a dinner gathering with company colleagues and then slept in the car.

Time passed while the client slept, and, judging that he no longer felt intoxicated, the client drove his own car while still under the influence and was stopped by a police officer.

The client therefore requested the assistance of a Bucheon attorney at the Daeryun Law Firm Bucheon law office in order to defend against punishment for drunk driving.

The Bucheon law office explained the statutes relating to drunk driving.

• Road Traffic Act, Article 44 (Prohibition of Driving While Intoxicated)

(1) No person shall drive a motor vehicle, etc. (including construction machinery other than the construction machinery referred to in the proviso to Article 26 (1) of the “🔗Construction Machinery Management Act”).

(The same shall apply hereinafter in this Article, Article 45, Article 47, Article 93 (1) 1 through 4, and Article 148-2.) A tram or a bicycle while intoxicated.

(2) A police officer (excluding an autonomous police officer; the same shall apply hereinafter in this paragraph) may, where deemed necessary for the safety of traffic and the prevention of danger, or where there are reasonable grounds to believe that a driver of a motor vehicle, etc., a tram, or a bicycle has driven while intoxicated in violation of paragraph (1), measure by means of a breath test whether the driver is intoxicated.

In such cases, the driver shall comply with the measurement by the police officer.

(3) With respect to a driver who does not accept the result of the measurement under paragraph (2), the measurement may be conducted again by means such as blood sampling, with the driver's consent.

(4) The standard for the state of intoxication for which driving is prohibited under paragraph (1) shall be a blood alcohol concentration of 0.03 percent or higher.

The Bucheon law office argued that the client was blaming himself for and reflecting on the drunk driving.

The client acknowledges the facts of the alleged offense and deeply regrets his wrongdoing.

We emphasized that the client had always called a designated driver when drinking and had no prior record of drunk driving over a period of ten years.

The Bucheon law office argued that the client had no prior record of drunk driving and no other prior convictions whatsoever.

The Bucheon law office argued that the client had signed a pledge to eradicate drunk driving and a pledge to prevent driving without a license, and had completed education on preventing the reoffense of drunk driving.

The client resolved, in light of this offense, never to drive while intoxicated again.

The Bucheon Law Office identified the circumstances of the case through a legal consultation with the client and presented its arguments accordingly.

As a result, with the assistance of the 🔗Bucheon Law Office, the client avoided an actual custodial sentence and received a suspended sentence for drunk driving.
