On the 24th of this month, Hyuk, a member of the South Korean boy band VIXX, called out in his Instagram Story: "Never drink and drive", which aroused the concern of fans.
After confirming the situation, the brokerage company said through the media: "Xiang Yi lost his dear cousin because of the drunk driving accident, because it is a personal matter, so it is impossible to explain the situation specifically." ”
In September last year, Xiang's cousin rode a motorcycle and collided with a drunk vehicle that ran a red light, and the cousin who died in the accident lost his life.
On the 11th of this month, XiangYi's cousin's sister uploaded an article on the Blue House petition board calling for greater penalties for drunk driving.
The sister said that the accident occurred in the early morning of the same day, and the younger brother told his family that he was going to the convenience store to see his friends and rode out on a motorcycle. Because my brother still has to work the next day, the family knows that he will be back soon, but unexpectedly he received a call from the police...
The driver who was involved in the attack was drunk driving, and he illegally turned left at the opposite intersection in violation of the traffic light and hit his brother who was going straight.
The sister said that she never thought that this would happen to her family, and in an instant, her parents lost their only son and lost their brother.
The sister and her family participated in all the public trials of the perpetrator driver with a feeling of extreme pain, with the purpose of relieving her brother's grievances and bringing the perpetrator driver to justice.
Even the perpetrator driver is a habitual offender of drunk driving, he has been fined many times in the past for drunk driving, and the sister who knows this fact feels like she is facing a serial murderer...
Although the perpetrator driver drank 0.124 per cent, which exceeded the level of revocation of the driver's license; although the perpetrator driver also ran a red light; although the perpetrator driver was a habitual offender; although someone lost his precious life, in the first instance judgment the judge said: "Although the traffic light was admitted, it is difficult to determine the accident that occurred because of drunk driving." ”
The judge said the perpetrator was reflecting, so the first instance sentenced him to only 3 years in prison.
The sister said angrily, "Is this like words? The perpetrator of the driver drunk driving, but did not commit the crime of drunk driving? Because you are reflecting, can you reduce the sentence? The 2018 revision of the Yin Changhao Law is actually useless? Even if someone dies because of this, he can only say 'regrettable'? ”
"It's not just guns, knives, and blunt weapons that kill people, drunk driving is also a weapon for killing!"
The sister believes that the punishment for habitual drunk driving offenders should be more severe, and the sentence should be heavier, rather than mitigating the punishment according to past precedents, because the perpetrator admits his mistake and reduces the punishment.
Remember when President Moon Jae-in presided over a meeting at the Blue House and talked about the Yin Chang-ho Law, he said: "The drunk driving accident is not a mistake, but an act of homicide, and it is also an act that completely subverts the lives of others!" ”
Hopefully, this sentence is more than just an empty phrase, and the judges of the court should bear this in mind!
