How to reduce drunk driving fines

Unless there are special circumstances such as a traffic accident resulting in loss of life, there are few cases of being arrested or arrested just for being caught in a simple drunk driving crackdown, and most of them end up with fines.
3 Ways to Reduce Drunk Driving Fines
1. Request a formal trial.
There is no guarantee that you will succeed in reducing or exempting yourself by requesting a trial unconditionally.
2. There is a possibility of receiving a reduction or exemption if there are reasons such as difficulties in livelihood or disability.
If there is such a reason, you can apply for a reduced fine or installment payment. Those who can apply to pay the fine in installments are those who are recipients of National Basic Livelihood Security, are disabled, or are the only ones who can support their family.
Also, if you are receiving medical benefits among the next-income class, low-income single-parent families are also eligible. If it is difficult to pay the fine at one time due to health or property reasons, you can apply for payment in installments or receive a reduced or exempted drunk driving fine.
3. Reduction or exemption can be obtained with the permission of the court.
Instead of paying a fine, you can substitute community service. However, not everyone can choose this method. It is possible only for fines of less than 3 million won, and requires permission from the court.
Above, we looked at the drunk driving fine inquiry and how to reduce the standard. I hope this helps you a lot.
