Anyang Law Firm Assistance | With the Assistance of Anyang Law Firm, a Suspended Sentence for a Repeat Drunk Driving Client

The client who came to the Anyang law firm committed a repeat offense of drunk driving.

The client had been drinking with acquaintances at a bar near his home and then went to sleep in his own car, which was parked in an alley.

To escape the cold, the client got into the vehicle, turned on the engine and the heater, and fell asleep, only to open his eyes at the impact of a collision.

The client's car had moved and struck another vehicle in front of it.

A witness who saw this reported the client, and after undergoing a breath test, the client was charged with drunk driving and requested the assistance of the Anyang law firm.

The Anyang attorney of the Anyang law firm explained that if a person who has been drinking moves the vehicle by even a single centimeter, this may constitute 🔗drunk driving and may be subject to punishment, even if it is not on a roadway.

※ Aggravated punishment for a second drunk driving offense

A person who has already committed drunk driving once within ten years may be subject to aggravated punishment.

※ Road Traffic Act Article 82 (Grounds for Disqualification from a Driver's License)

(2) A person who falls under any one of the following may not obtain a driver's license unless the period prescribed in the relevant item has elapsed.

(a) Where the person has violated Article 44 (1) or (2) two or more times (including cases where Article 43 or Article 96 (3) is also violated)

The client admitted all of the facts charged and firmly resolved never again to commit any offense and to live diligently.

The Anyang law firm argued that the client was reflecting on his wrongdoing by preparing a written pledge stating that he would not drink for five years.

The client made efforts to repair the damage to the vehicle involved in the accident.

The Anyang law firm argued that the client subsequently filed the matter with the insurance company and sought to repair the damage promptly.

The client who requested the assistance of the Anyang law firm came to commit a repeat offense of drunk driving.

With the assistance of an Anyang attorney of Daeryun Law Firm, the client was able to receive a suspended sentence.

As shown above, even in a situation where a person falls asleep in a car with the heater on and then, by mistake, touches the gear so that the vehicle moves, that person may be subject to punishment.

This requires first determining whether there was intent by reviewing the situation as a whole, including the reason the vehicle came to move at the time, as well as the direction and distance the vehicle moved.

For that reason, obtaining the assistance of an experienced attorney is a good approach.
