The District Court in Siedlce partially overturned the first-instance judgment regarding the defendant's criminal penalty. The prosecution and defense appealed the original five-year vehicle ban, arguing procedural errors and factual inaccuracies under Articles 438 of the Criminal Procedure Code. The appellate court found no merit in these arguments and extended the ban to five years, excluding only vehicles requiring category T licenses, while dismissing other claims and ordering the defendant to pay court costs.
