Court imposes 4-year driving ban and fine for drunk driving despite prior conviction being expunged.

The court convicted the defendant of driving a motor vehicle while intoxicated, imposing a four-year ban on operating any motor vehicle and a compensatory payment of 5,000 zloty. Although the defendant argued that a prior conviction for the same offense had been expunged, the court found this did not negate the current act's criminal nature. The court determined that the statutory threshold for intoxication was clearly exceeded and the new penalty was appropriate given the defendant's circumstances.
