AI generatedThe court found the defendant guilty of driving a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol and sentenced him to a fine of 60 daily rates, a lifetime ban on driving, and a monetary payment to victim funds. The prosecution argued that the defendant's prior conviction and high blood alcohol levels warranted a severe penalty, which the court upheld. The decision was based on the statutory requirement for a lifetime driving ban for recidivists and the court's assessment of the social harm caused by the offense.
