Changwon Law Firm Assistance Case | Successful Change of a Driver's License Revocation to a Suspension

The detailed account of the client, who had a consultation at the firm, is as follows.

The client drank about a bottle and a half of alcohol at a gathering with an acquaintance.

Judging that he need only get to the nearest lodging and sleep, the client drove about 1 km while intoxicated.

While he was driving, a problem arose with a part of the client's vehicle, so he parked the vehicle on the shoulder and was checking its condition.

Before long, a patrol car suddenly approached the client and requested a sobriety test, and accordingly the fact of drinking was discovered.

A vehicle following behind the client had suspected drunk driving and reported it to the police, and as a result of this case the client received a driver's license revocation.

Considering the disposition somewhat excessive, the client decided to seek the help of an attorney and came to the firm.

① Filing the action: Submit the complaint within 90 days from the date of receiving the license revocation

② Submission of the complaint: Submit the complaint to the relevant administrative court

③ Court review: The court reviews the issues in the action and examines the evidence

④ Issuance of the judgment: The court issues a judgment on the revocation lawsuit

⑤ Finalization of the judgment: Once the judgment is finalized, the revocation disposition is either revoked or maintained

The client had never once been punished for drunk driving since obtaining his driver's license.

Although he had occasionally paid administrative fines, he had not particularly violated any traffic laws.

While it was true that he had committed the serious wrong of drunk driving, the firm emphasized that imposing a driver's license revocation on a first-time offender was a somewhat excessive disposition.

While it was a clear wrong for the client to have driven while intoxicated, he drove for only a short time over a short distance.

As a result, no personal or property damage occurred.

The firm emphasized that a driver's license suspension would suffice in place of the disposition in this case.

The client deeply regretted his wrongdoing, showed remorse, and firmly resolved never to commit such a wrong again.

The firm emphasized that the client was making his own efforts to abstain from alcohol, including attending a sobriety clinic, with the determination never again to drink and drive.
