A few days ago, the First People's Court of Dongguan City (hereinafter referred to as the "Dongguan First People's Court") concluded a case caused by drunk driving. A man drove on the road after drinking, and even found someone to pretend to be the driver, trying to get through the barrier, and was finally found out and sentenced.
According to reports, after his driver's license was revoked, the defendant Zhang drove a car while drunk, and when he passed through a certain section of Daojiao Town, Dongguan City, he lost control and rushed onto the green belt separating the main and auxiliary roads, causing a road traffic accident in which Zhang was injured, the vehicle was damaged, and the green belt and traffic signs were damaged. After the incident, Zhang instructed Li (to be dealt with separately) to the scene to impersonate the driver.
After being repeatedly warned by the police, Li still pretended to the police that he was the driver. The police suspected that Zhang was the driver, and gave Zhang three verbal warnings, but he still denied it and refused to take an alcohol breath test, and was later taken to the hospital for forced blood drawing. After identification, Zhang's blood was found to contain an ethanol content of 18565mg/100ml。The Daojiao Traffic Police Brigade determined that Zhang was fully responsible for the accident, and the Green Belt Management Company was not responsible for the accident. Afterwards, Zhang compensated the client of the green belt management company 25,000 yuan and obtained the understanding of the property damage party.
After trial, the court held that the defendant Zhang X drove a motor vehicle on a public road while intoxicated and instructed others to give false testimony, and that his conduct constituted the crime of dangerous driving and the crime of obstructing testimony, respectively, and should be punished concurrently for several crimes in accordance with law. Therefore, Zhang was sentenced to three months' detention and fined 5,000 yuan in accordance with the law.
Driving a motor vehicle while intoxicated on the road is an act that seriously endangers public road safety and is suspected of dangerous driving. The magistrate said that the majority of drivers should consciously abide by road traffic safety laws and regulations, eliminate the luck mentality, drive safely, travel in a civilized manner, and do not drink and drive motor vehicles for their own safety, the safety of their families and the harmony of society. At the same time, the act of finding someone to carry a bag after driving a motor vehicle while intoxicated not only obstructs judicial order, but is also an aggravating circumstance for the crime of dangerous driving. Therefore, do not make perjury for others due to family affection, friendship and other reasons, and the real concern between relatives and friends should be to remind and advise them not to drive after drinking.
