A driver is caught driving a car with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.05 percent (no accident, no previous alcohol-related violations). Which 2 statements are correct? Select TWO
Drunk driving brings a criminal penalty and an administrative action on the driver's license, imposed separately. Memorize the penalties for each blood alcohol concentration band (Article 148-2(3) of the Road Traffic Act) and the suspension and revocation standards (Annex 28 of the Enforcement Rule), divided at the 0.03% and 0.08% boundaries.
Answer: ①, ③
Explanation
Driving with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.03 percent or more but less than 0.08 percent is punishable under Article 148-2(3)(3) of the Road Traffic Act by up to 1 year in prison or a criminal fine of up to 5 million won. The administrative penalty is 100 demerit points under the suspension standards in Annex 28 of the Enforcement Rule. A first offense below 0.08 percent with no accident leads to suspension, not revocation, and it is not settled by a traffic penalty.
