Suwon Administrative Attorney's Assistance | Administrative Disposition of License Revocation Revoked With the Assistance of a Suwon Administrative Attorney

The client who came to the Suwon administrative attorney visited the administrative attorney at the Suwon office to pursue an administrative lawsuit seeking relief for a driver's license that had been revoked for drunk driving.

1. How the Client Came to Visit the Suwon Administrative Attorney

The client who consulted with the Suwon administrative attorney visited the Suwon office after deciding to pursue an administrative lawsuit to challenge the revocation of his license for drunk driving.

The Client Who Requested Assistance From an Administrative Litigation Attorney

This is the story of a client who requested assistance from the Suwon administrative attorney.

On the day of the incident, the client had drinks with coworkers.

The client did not usually drink much, but that day he drank soju.

He then tried to call a designated driver to get home, but, having drunk too much, the client ended up taking the wheel while intoxicated.

He was ultimately caught by a police officer conducting a drunk driving check, and the client's license was revoked.

Because driving was essential to his livelihood, the client urgently came to the Suwon administrative attorney to request assistance with 🔗relief from drunk driving penalties.

Relevant Laws Explained by an Administrative Litigation Attorney

If you wish to challenge a driver's license disposition, you may file an objection with the Commissioner of the City or Provincial Police Agency.

▶ Objection Against a Driver's License Disposition

(1) A person who objects to a revocation or suspension of a driver's license, or to a revocation of a provisional driver's license, may file an objection with the Commissioner of the City or Provincial Police Agency within 60 days from the date of receiving the disposition.
(2) To ensure fairness, the review of the objection is conducted by the Driver's License Administrative Disposition Objection Review Committee.

※ A person who has filed an objection may, regardless of the objection, file an administrative appeal under the Administrative Appeals Act as another means of administrative relief, and if the person seeks to contest the ruling on the administrative appeal, the person may file an administrative lawsuit under the Administrative Litigation Act.

The criteria for mitigating an administrative disposition are as follows: a disposition may be mitigated with extenuating circumstances on the following grounds.

▶ If driving is the means of livelihood for the family
▶ If the person has served as a model driver engaged in traffic volunteer activities for 3 years or more
▶ If the person has received a commendation from the chief of a police station or higher

2. The Assistance Provided by the Suwon Administrative Attorney

The Suwon administrative attorney formed a task force with attorneys experienced in handling numerous drunk driving cases, established a strategy to revoke the disposition, and then provided the following assistance.

Administrative Litigation Attorney's Assistance ① | Use of the Widmark Formula

By identifying the client's final drinking time, the time he finished driving, and the time of the breath test, the attorney calculated the blood alcohol concentration at the time of the drunk driving using the Widmark formula.

The calculation proved that, at the time of the breath measurement, the client was within the period during which his blood alcohol concentration was still rising.

The attorney therefore emphasized the possibility that the client's blood alcohol concentration at the time of the drunk driving had not exceeded the punishment threshold.

※ Widmark formula : A method of calculating the blood alcohol concentration at the time of drunk driving in cases such as when much time has passed after a drunk driving accident and the driver has sobered up, or when the level is below the threshold

Administrative Litigation Attorney's Assistance ② | Emphasizing the Low Likelihood of Reoffending

The client is a first-time offender with no record of any criminal punishment, including for drunk driving.

After this incident, the client completed education on preventing repeat drunk driving offenses and education on law-abiding conduct, and prepared a written pledge to abstain from drunk driving, among other steps.

In this way, the attorney emphasized that the client had resolved never to drive drunk again and was making genuine efforts to prevent reoffending.

Administrative Litigation Attorney's Assistance ③ | Emphasizing the Client's Livelihood

The client frequently goes on business trips to regional areas, and his work often takes place in the early morning hours, making it difficult for him to use public transportation.

The attorney emphasized that if the revocation of the driver's license were maintained, it could have a direct adverse effect on the client's livelihood.

3. The Result of the Suwon Administrative Attorney's Assistance, “Revocation of the Disposition”

Accepting the Suwon administrative attorney's arguments, the court “revokes the driver's license revocation disposition.” The court issued this decision.
