교통사고처리특례법위반

Text

The judgment of the court below is reversed.

The sentence of sentence against the defendant shall be suspended.

Reasons

1. Progress of litigation;

A. The lower court determined that the Defendant’s act does not constitute “in cases of driving a vehicle in violation of the signal” under Article 3(2)1 of the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Settlement of Traffic Accidents, since the vehicle driven by the Defendant is “emergency motor vehicles” under Article 29(2) of the Road Traffic Act and the Defendant’s failure to temporarily stop in the red and flickering signal at the time of the instant case was “emergency and inevitable” under the said provision, and that the Defendant’s act does not constitute “in cases of driving a vehicle in violation of the signal.” The lower court rendered a judgment dismissing the instant prosecution on the ground that the vehicle driven by the Defendant was covered by the comprehensive motor vehicle insurance and the victims explicitly expressed their intent

Thus, the instant facts charged ought to be deemed guilty pursuant to Article 3(2)1 of the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Settlement of Traffic Accidents.

Nevertheless, the court below erred by misapprehending the legal principles.
