[Anchor]
As Moon Da-hye, who caused the drunk driving accident, attended the police and was investigated, the investigation is expected to be completed and handed over to the prosecution soon.The level of punishment for


Moon is expected to vary depending on whether the investigative agency recognizes the 'injury' of the victim taxi driver.

Reporter Yang Dong-hoon summarized the issue.

[Reporter] Moon Da-hye, who crashed into a taxi while driving drunk
, was charged with drunk driving under the Road Traffic Act.At the time of the accident, the blood alcohol level of

Moon was found to be 0.149%, and if you are a first-time offender, you can be sentenced to more than one year and up to two years in prison or fined more than 5 million won and less than 10 million won.

Analysts say that if there is no criminal record, there is a high possibility of being fined for simple drunk driving.

[Kim Kwang-sam (last 7th, YTN New Square 10) / Lawyer: It may vary depending on which law is applied because it does not appear to have a criminal record, and it is a crime that can be fined if you simply drink and drive.]The charges that may be additionally applied to Mr.

Moon include charges of injury under the Special Act on Handling of Traffic Accidents and charges of injury to dangerous driving under the Specific Crime Weighted Penalty Act.

In particular, it is important to charge dangerous driving injuries if you hurt another person while driving while driving in a state where normal driving is difficult due to drinking or drugs.

The level of punishment for dangerous driving is high as the statutory sentence can be imprisoned for more than one year and up to 15 years or a fine of more than 10 million won and up to 30 million won.

However, experts disagree about the applicability now that the taxi driver is not submitting a medical certificate because it can only be applied if it is proven that the other person is injured.

[Jeong Kyung-il / Lawyer: If the victim is agreed with and the medical certificate is not submitted, it seems difficult to apply the crime of injury to dangerous driving due to the minor part of the accident.]

[Kim Kyung-hwan / Lawyer: The investigative agency may obtain a search warrant and receive a medical certificate and medical records from the hospital, and may decide whether to injure the driver or not]

In addition, if additional charges of reckless driving are applied, they may be sentenced to prison or fined, and illegal parking or violation of signal instructions is a fine.
