Court convicts recidivist of drunk driving, imposing six-month prison term and lifetime driving ban.

The court convicted the defendant, M. R., of drunk driving while previously convicted of a similar offense within five years. The prosecution argued for a recidivist charge under Article 178a § 4 of the Criminal Code, resulting in a six-month prison sentence and a lifetime driving ban. The court accepted the recidivist status and applied the aggravated penalty provisions, rejecting any defense against the statutory requirements for such a repeat offender.
