JUSTICE: Drunk, without insurance and with a suspended license, he still drove

0

Around 22 p.m. on Sunday, February 28, GA was driving his car on the national road near Grand Case when, in front of him, a vehicle missed his turn. GA moves away but cannot avoid the accident.

CM, the driver of the other car, aged 43, was arrested by the gendarmes and taken into police custody. The first tests revealed an alcohol level of 1,05 mg per liter of exhaled air.

While checking CM's identity, the gendarmes also discovered that CM's driver's license had been suspended three months earlier by the court. In addition, the car CM was driving (which was her cousin's) was not insured. CM was summoned to the Saint-Martin local court on September 2.

"His behavior is deplorable", commented the deputy prosecutor who requested a fine of 250 euros and a sentence of eight months in prison with a probationary suspension for two years including the obligation of care (alcohol addiction), to work, to compensate the victim and the ban on driving any motor vehicle.

After deliberation, the court found CM guilty of the charges against him and sentenced him to six months in prison and a fine of 200 euros. He also received the constitution of civil party of the victim who was present at the hearing; the case was referred on civil interest next October.
