Drunk 1-meter reverse in a parking lot: a fine instead of prison
In a drunk driving case involving reversing a car 1 meter in a parking lot, the distance and circumstances were taken into account and a fine was imposed.
How the case unfolded
Background
While drunk, our client reversed a car about 1 meter in a parking lot and was charged with drunk driving. The applicable provision carried a possible prison sentence.
Issues and ruling
The court weighed the relatively high blood alcohol level against our client. However, considering that the car moved only 1 meter and that there were mitigating circumstances in how it happened, it chose a fine.
Outcome
Our client was fined 10 million won.
