Text
The appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
The prosecutor's grounds of appeal are examined.
In light of the legislative intent of Article 3(2)2 of the Road Traffic Act, when a vehicle that caused a traffic accident is insured under Article 4(1) of the Act on Special Cases concerning the Settlement of Traffic Accidents, which is an exception to punishment that is not possible to institute a public prosecution, it is reasonable to say that the occurrence point of the traffic accident is not all the cases beyond the center line, but the case where the vehicle continues to operate the center line or causes an accident by breaking the center line without any inevitable reason. According to the facts established by the court below, although the occurrence point of the traffic accident in this case is beyond the center line, the defendant is driving the Nebage vehicle with a speed of 20 km meters at the speed of time, while driving the Nbage vehicle with a speed of 20 km, it is hard to agree with the judgment of the court below that the vehicle did not constitute an independent traffic accident under the proviso of Article 3(2)2 of the Road Traffic Act, since it was found that it was a traffic accident under the former part of the Act on Special Cases concerning the Settlement of Traffic Accidents.
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
