Hello, my license was revoked due to drunk driving, so I am in an unlicensed state. However, through my own mistake, I recently hit a utility pole and caused an unlicensed traffic accident.. Please let me know what the level of punishment is if I caused a traffic accident while unlicensed.. and how much the unlicensed driving fine would be.. I would appreciate an answer as to whether an attorney with experience handling unlicensed traffic accident cases can defend against the punishment.

Unlicensed driving fine

As in your case, where a person whose license has been revoked due to drunk driving drives without a license and causes a traffic accident, they may be subject to a heavier punishment than for simple unlicensed driving. Under Article 152 of the Road Traffic Act, where a person whose driver's license has been suspended drives, they are subject to imprisonment of up to 1 year or a fine of up to 3 million won as an unlicensed driving fine .
In addition, under the Act on Special Cases concerning the Settlement of Traffic Accidents and other laws, you may be subject to criminal punishment. Furthermore, where a person kills or injures someone through unlicensed driving, it is classified as one of the 12 categories of gross negligence in traffic accidents, but your case appears to involve no personal injury.
The punishment for an unlicensed traffic accident varies greatly depending on prior convictions, reoffending, and whether an accident occurred. Therefore, if the punishment for unlicensed driving feels frightening and overwhelming, it is important to collect objective materials that can prove the circumstances or situation of the accident at the time, such as nearby CCTV, vehicle dashcams, and to build a defense strategy by finding sentencing grounds through the assistance of a specialized attorney. We hope that you defend against the punishment with the greatest possible mitigation strategy by establishing a sentencing strategy together with our firm's attorneys, who have extensive experience handling unlicensed traffic accident cases.
