Gangneung Administrative Attorney | Administrative Attorney Who Obtained Revocation of a Driver's License Cancellation by Filing an Administrative Appeal

The attorney took on the administrative appeal of a client who came seeking an administrative attorney because the client's license had been cancelled. The attorney succeeded in obtaining revocation of the client's license cancellation.

1. The Client's Situation

The client explained that he had received a license cancellation for drunk driving.

The client had been driving after drinking about two glasses of beer when he was asked to take a breath test by an officer conducting a drunk-driving crackdown, and his blood alcohol concentration at the time was reportedly 0.07%.

The client explained that about ten years earlier his license had been suspended for drunk driving.

In this case, the client's driver's license was cancelled after he received a prior notice of driver's license cancellation.

Saying that having his driver's license cancelled would cause great difficulty in maintaining his livelihood, the client sought the attorney's assistance.

2. Driver's License Cancellation Examined by the Gangneung Administrative Attorney

The attorney examined the driver's license cancellation.

▶Road Traffic Act Article 93 (Cancellation and Suspension of a Driver's License)

① If a person who has obtained a driver's license falls under any of the following items, the Commissioner of a City or Provincial Police Agency may cancel the driver's license or suspend the effect of the driver's license within a period of up to one year, in accordance with the standards prescribed by Ordinance of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.

1. If a person, in violation of Article 44 (1), drives a motor vehicle, etc. while intoxicated

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

① No person shall drive a motor vehicle, etc., a tram, or a bicycle while intoxicated.

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

Under the Road Traffic Act, a person who drives a motor vehicle, etc. while intoxicated may receive a driver's license cancellation.

3. Gangneung Administrative Attorney, Objection

The attorney filed an objection to the administrative disposition with the National Police Agency for 🔗license cancellation relief on behalf of the client, on the following grounds.

▶The client maintains his livelihood by working in the transport business.

▶Having no suitable place to live, he resides in the company dormitory.

▶If his driver's license is cancelled, he must move out of the dormitory.

▶He is sincerely remorseful for the drunk driving, and the driving distance was not long.

Gangneung Administrative Attorney, Filing an Administrative Appeal

The objection filed by the attorney was dismissed. The attorney then filed an administrative appeal with the Central Administrative Appeals Commission to obtain revocation of the client's driver's license cancellation, on the following grounds.

▶The client's blood alcohol concentration was 0.07%, which is at the level of a driver's license suspension.

▶Driving was the client's sole means of maintaining his livelihood, so he falls within the grounds for mitigation.

▶The client received a prior notice of driver's license cancellation stating the date for him to appear, but his driver's license was cancelled before that appearance date, so there is a procedural defect.
