Suncheon Traffic Accident Attorney | Suncheon Attorney Who Obtained a Non-Prosecution Decision in a Reckless Driving Case

Through a consultation with the client, the Suncheon traffic accident attorney was able to closely ascertain the circumstances of the case.

While on his way to work, the client had crossed the center line twice in succession when attempting to overtake two vehicles.

He explained that at the time, he was in an urgent situation due to a physiological need, so he turned on his blinker, confirmed that there were no oncoming vehicles, and then crossed the center line to attempt the overtaking.

In the course of this, the client repeatedly sounded his horn, and another driver who saw this filed a complaint, which led to the charges of reckless driving.

In the end, the client received a two-month license suspension, and as he had to also consider the possibility of criminal punishment, he requested legal assistance.

Reckless driving is conduct that seriously threatens traffic safety and public order, and it falls under several driving behaviors prohibited by the Road Traffic Act.

Crossing the center line or unnecessarily sounding the horn repeatedly is regarded as one of the most dangerous behaviors threatening safe operation.

Intentionally stopping abruptly or suddenly changing lanes to threaten other drivers is also prohibited.

🔗Reckless driving, unlike a simple traffic law violation, may be punished very severely if intent and repetition are recognized.

If a charge of reckless driving is recognized, the person is subject to criminal punishment and an administrative disposition.

Depending on the severity of the situation, a license may be suspended for 40 to 100 days, and the person may be punished by imprisonment for up to 1 year or a fine of up to 5 million won.

The Suncheon attorney secured the dashcam footage of the vehicle from the time of the incident and gathered evidence consistent with the client's account.

The attorney then established the characteristics of the road, which had only one lane, and the fact that there were no oncoming vehicles.

The attorney also organized observations on distinctive points that had not been discovered at the military police stage and emphasized the legitimacy of the client's use of his blinker and horn.

The Suncheon attorney explained that the road in the case was a single-lane road, and that the overtaking took place after confirming that there were no oncoming vehicles.

In addition, the attorney argued that, given the urgent situation of a physiological need, this was different in character from intentional reckless driving.

The case above is an example in which, with the client, a career soldier, under investigation on charges of reckless driving, the 🔗Suncheon attorney actively defended the client's position and brought about a non-prosecution decision.
