Legislator summary

AI generated

The Administrative Court of Kuopio quashed the police's temporary driving license revocation because the prosecution's evidence failed to establish a probable cause for the driver's guilt. The driver was found with a blood alcohol level of 1.75 promille after causing a traffic accident by pushing a damaged vehicle off the road. The court ruled that the circumstances were too unclear to presume the driver committed serious drunk driving, thereby invalidating the administrative penalty.

Oliko syyllistymistä rattijuopumukseen pidettävä todennäköisenä.

Henkilö oli työntänyt liikennevahingossa vaurioitunutta

autoa tieltä läheiseen pihaan ohjaten autoa ohjauslaitteesta.

Veren alkoholipitoisuus oli 1,75 promillea.

Poliisilaitos oli katsoen ko. henkilön todennäköisesti

syyllistyneen törkeään rattijuopumukseen peruuttanut ajokortin

väliaikaisesti kunnes asia oli tuomioistuimessa

ratkaistu.

Lääninoikeus katsoi, että henkilön syyllistyminen rattijuopumukseen

oli siinä määrin epäselvä, ettei hänen syyllistymistään

voitu pitää todennäköisenä ja kumosi päätök-

sen.
