Text
The appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
The prosecutor's grounds of appeal are examined.
In light of the legislative intent of Article 13(2) of the Road Traffic Act, the term “if a vehicle which caused a traffic accident intrudes on the median line of the road where the lane is installed in violation of the former part of Article 3(2)2 of the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Settlement of Traffic Accidents” means not all cases where the traffic accident occurred beyond the median line, but it means the median line in cases where an accident is caused by breaking the median line without any justifiable reason. However, according to the facts charged in this case, although the traffic accident in this case takes place beyond the median line, although the traffic accident in this case takes place beyond the median line, it is erroneous that the Defendant turns down from 2 to 1 to 2 to 1 to 1 to 2 of the former part of Article 3(2) of the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Settlement of Traffic Accidents, it does not constitute an unlawful act in light of the legal principle of the proviso of Article 2(2) of the former part of the Road Traffic Act, and it does not constitute an unlawful act in this case.
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed by the assent of all participating judges. It is so decided as per Disposition.
