Judgment of the lower court

Daegu District Court Decision 90No809 delivered on August 24, 1990

Text

The judgment below is reversed, and the case is remanded to Daegu District Court Panel Division.

Reasons

We examine the prosecutor's grounds of appeal.

1. According to the reasoning of the judgment of the court below, the point of accident in this case is the package map of the first line of eight meters wide from Kimcheon-si to the Gyeongcheon-si, and it was difficult for the defendant to find out the victim of the accident at the time of the accident at the time of the accident at about 50 kilometers per hour while driving a taxi at around 00:20 on March 5, 1990, while driving the taxi at about 3 meters long from the opposite direction, it was difficult for the defendant to find the victim of the accident at the time of the accident at the time of the accident at the time of the accident, and it was difficult for the defendant to find the victim of the accident at the time of the accident at the time of the accident at the time of the accident at the speed of about 8 meters long, and there was no other special circumstance to see that the defendant was at the time of the accident at the time of the accident at the time of the accident, and there was no other special circumstance to see that the victim was at the time of the accident at the time of the accident.

2. However, even if the defendant did not have the duty of care to drive the national highway of the city with limited time at the time of the expiration of self-government, in response to the expectation that the person would be able to enjoy while driving the national highway, such as the time of original adjudication, if the defendant could have discovered the victim who would have been able to enjoy on the road in advance at a reasonable distance if he had fulfilled the duty of care for driving normally required by the driver, and could have avoided it, it cannot be said that the defendant was not negligent in performing his duties.

According to the evidence protocol prepared by the judicial police assistant and each protocol of examination of the accused prepared by the judicial police assistant, the accident location of this case is limited to five minutes each at low level, and the vehicle of the upper and lower-speed line is very high to the extent that it does not have any visual disability even at the time of this case, and at the time of this case, it is recognized that the defendant was negligent in attending the course of the vehicle with the vehicle facing the police and the prosecutor's office by adjusting the head of the vehicle of the defendant taxi toward the head of the road and properly examining the course of the vehicle. In light of these facts, even if the defendant did not expect that the person would be in advance going on the road, the defendant could not be exempted from liability for negligence if he was found in advance at a considerable distance of distance from the victim who had been in progress, if he had done the course by adjusting the head of the vehicle on the road.

In light of the above, the court below should have deliberated whether or not the victim could not be discovered even though the defendant performed his duty of care normally required in driving, but should have tried to do so. However, the court below's decision as above without the name was made as soon as possible, and it is reasonable to discuss this issue as to the violation of the rules of evidence, which affected the conclusion of the judgment.

3. Therefore, we reverse and remand the judgment of the court below. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.

Justices Song Man-man (Presiding Justice)
