Narcotics case attorney, what punishment is imposed for driving under the influence of drugs?

Hello. This is a narcotics case attorney at Daeryun LLC.

Driving under the influence of drugs is subject to very heavy criminal punishment.

Driving while under the influence of drugs may be punishable by imprisonment of up to three years or a fine of up to 10 million won.

In particular, if an accident occurs while driving and injures another person, the Act on Aggravated Punishment of Specific Crimes applies, and imprisonment of one year to fifteen years or a fine of 10 million won to 30 million won may be imposed.

Reasons such as 'it was such a tiny amount that it is fine' or 'I did not feel anything' have almost no effect on the level of punishment.

In addition, if drug use is confirmed, long-term disadvantages such as license revocation, a criminal record, and employment restrictions may also arise.

Therefore, establishing a strategy through a consultation with a narcotics case attorney at the early stage of the case is more important than anything else.

Because long-term disadvantages such as license revocation and a criminal record also arise, it is important to prepare a response through a consultation with a narcotics case attorney at the early stage of the case.

For details, please confirm through a consultation with a narcotics case attorney.
