Since the amendment of the above Enforcement Rule does not result in the change of the legal ideology, it shall be deemed that the modification of the law to extend the period of the automobile inspection and to respond to the need, not from the change of the legal ideology, but from the change of circumstances, such as the advancement of the automobile manufacturing technology, the development of road conditions, etc.

Therefore, the court below's decision is just and there is no error in the misapprehension of legal principles in the original judgment, in accordance with Article 45 (2) of the Enforcement Rule of the Road Transport Vehicles Act at the time of the crime of this case.

The issue is groundless.

Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
