A Supreme Court ruling came out saying that if you were drunk and tried to drive your car, but the car broke down and didn't move, you couldn't be punished for drunk driving.
The third part of the Supreme Court announced today (31) that it has confirmed a court case sentenced to acquittal in the appeal of Mr. A, who was accused of drunk driving.
In January 2016, Mr. A was charged with starting a vehicle that stopped in an accident while drunk and operating a transmission.
At that time, Mr. A fell asleep while driving in a car driven by the surrogate driver, and woke up after an accident, but the surrogate driver could not be found.
Mr. A started the engine and pressed the accelerator pedal to drive the stopped vehicle, but the car broke down and did not move.
Mr. A was charged with drunk driving after being investigated by the police, but the courts of the first and second trials sentenced him to innocence saying that he could not be considered drunk driving, and the Supreme Court dismissed the prosecutor's appeal with the same judgment.
