After leaving the bar, the client could not overcome his drowsiness and briefly slept in his own car.

About 3 hours later, as he was about to call a designated driver, he fell into the mistaken belief that the effects of the alcohol had worn off and that there would be no problem if he drove carefully, and so he drove.

In the course of this, he arrived near his home, and his tires slipped and he crashed into a streetlight, causing an accident.

A police officer who had been dispatched then requested a breath test, and the result measured a blood alcohol concentration of 0.14%, leading to this case and placing the client at risk of punishment for driving under the influence without a license.
