No charge of drinking accident, only the victim lost… What was the police missing?

There is something like this. ‘I drank alcohol, but I wasn’t drunk driving.’ Anyone who had an accident due to drunk driving was not punished. It was because the police did not follow the procedure, but only the victims were injured.

This is Hong Ji-yong.

A car running from the right hits the front part of the vehicle on the road.

Vehicle debris was scattered on the floor.

The entire front bumper fell off the victim vehicle.

It was an accident that happened on a road in Suwon last October.

The offending driver is Bae Mo, 34 years old.

At that time, Bae’s blood alcohol concentration was 0.09%, which was the level of license cancellation.

Bae was sentenced to a fine for drunk driving even a year ago.

However, this time he was not punished for drunk driving.

According to the police enforcement guidelines, 200 ml of water must be provided so that drivers can rinse their mouths before taking alcohol measurements.

It’s about a cup of paper.

However, in this case, the police immediately took a breath without watering.

Violation of the enforcement guidelines means that the results of the drinking test were not accepted as evidence.

Police explained that the drunk driver was in a hurry by rioting and swearing during the crackdown, and was unable to accidentally rinse his mouth.

It is the victim who is bothered.

As drinking became innocent, victims had a greater percentage of negligence than originally expected.

In terms of money, it costs over 2 million won.
