Drunk Driving Offense | Requesting a Formal Trial of the Drunk Driving Summary Order and Obtaining an Acquittal

This is the story of a client who sought the assistance of a drunk driving specialist attorney, stating that he had received a summary order for a fine for the crime of drunk driving.

The client stated that on the day of the incident, after finishing work, he had a light drink and then tried to sleep in his car.

He then woke up and drove in order to return home, and he was measured at a blood alcohol concentration of 0.03% by police conducting a drunk driving crackdown, making him subject to punishment for the crime of drunk driving.

After being referred to the prosecutors, the client was indicted by summary indictment, and the court accepted this and issued a summary order for a fine.

Stating that there were points he found unjust, the client came to this firm and asked whether requesting a formal trial against the summary order could lead to an acquittal.

🔗A drunk driving offense refers to the act of operating a car, motorcycle, bicycle, or similar vehicle while intoxicated, in violation of the Road Traffic Act.

Because the law provides that the mere fact of driving while intoxicated is punishable, a person is subject to punishment even if no traffic accident results.

Under the current Road Traffic Act, a blood alcohol concentration of 0.03% or higher is regarded as a drunk driving offense, and the administrative disposition (license suspension or revocation) and the level of criminal punishment vary depending on the reading.

Under the Road Traffic Act, an intoxicated state means a state in which normal driving is difficult, and this standard is assessed comprehensively, considering not only the blood alcohol concentration but also the judgment of the police, the condition of the driver, and similar factors.
