Court convicts drunk driver of traffic offense, imposes minimum 3-year driving ban and 5000 PLN fine.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court convicted the defendant of driving under the influence, resulting in a 3-year ban on operating any motor vehicle and a 5,000 PLN compensation payment. The prosecution argued for a total driving ban rather than restricting it only to vehicles requiring a Category B license, which the court rejected. The decision was based on the statutory requirement for a minimum three-year prohibition and the principle that a ban on Category B vehicles implicitly covers heavier vehicles and other license categories.
