driver got out of the car for a moment, but soon drove away, leaving the injured taxi driver behind.

Even if you did hit and run, you shouldn't be caught drunk driving.

[Jung Kyung-il/Traffic Accident Lawyer: Even if you can't reveal the fact that you were drunk, you are punished more severely than a drunk driving traffic accident with a prison sentence of 1 to 30 years or a fine of 500 to 30 million won for a hit-and-run crime under the Special Act.] The
