While driving a car with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.05 percent, a driver causes a crash that injures the other driver. What administrative action is taken on this driver's license?
Administrative action for drunk driving depends not only on blood alcohol concentration but also on the result of any accident (Annex 28 of the Enforcement Rule). Separate the standard for below 0.08% with no accident from the standard when someone is injured, and consider whether the victim's wishes affect administrative action.
Answer: ③
Explanation
Item 2 of the revocation standards in Annex 28 of the Enforcement Rule makes it grounds for revocation to kill or injure a person in a crash while driving at a blood alcohol concentration of 0.03 percent or more. Without an accident, under 0.08 percent would mean suspension with 100 demerit points, but injuring someone leads to revocation even at a lower level. The victim's wishes on punishment do not affect the administrative action.
