How to Handle Hit-and-Run While Driving Under the Influence?

[DiChloe]

The penalties for hit-and-run while driving under the influence are: 1. Revocation of the driver's license, with no eligibility to reapply for two years; 2. If the hit-and-run results in the death of the victim, the offender will be sentenced to more than seven years in prison as stipulated by criminal law. In general cases, causing death in a traffic accident is punishable by up to three years in prison or criminal detention. If a major traffic accident occurs due to driving under the influence of alcohol or while intoxicated, and it constitutes a crime, criminal liability will be pursued according to the law. A major traffic accident is the prerequisite, and constituting a crime is the general term. This is an important change in the discretion granted to law enforcement after the revision of the criminal law. Not classifying it as "accidental" means that driving under the influence or while intoxicated is excluded from the crime of traffic negligence. The so-called crime is interpreted based on the subjective intent and objective consequences of the perpetrator.
