– On the 27th, Congressman Cho Su-jin, the Office of the People’s Power, disclosed cases similar to Lee’s out of 29 cases of ‘2020 Seoul Central District Court rulings under the Special Act on Driver Assault Cases. According to the data, there were five cases of assaulting a taxi driver while stopping or driving like Lee, causing minor injuries. They were punished from a fine of 3 million won to probation.
Court saw strict terms of’stop’
– The police heard the reason that the taxi driver assaulted the taxi driver after the taxi stopped for releasing Vice Minister Lee Yong-gu. After arriving at the destination apartment parking lot, the vehicle was completely stopped, and then the assault occurred, so it was judged as “a matter where the special price law cannot be applied.”
However, like this vice minister, after the taxi stopped, he committed an assault, but there were cases where the special price law was applied. In April, a man in his 40s swears by asking a taxi driver suddenly while a taxi stopped to drop him off. He pulled the taxi driver’s neck with his hand and choked him with his leg. He was fined 3 million won.
The court saw a temporary stop for a customer’s disembarkation as’in operation’. In the case of Vice Minister Lee, it is said that the assault occurred while the taxi driver was trying to wake him up to get off. After getting off the taxi in September last year, a man who opened the taxi driver’s door again and pulled a taxi driver down to the floor was also sentenced to two years of probation in January and June of imprisonment. The man appealed for a sanctuary by hearing that he was’stopping’, but the court took into account that the taxi driver had dropped him off and moved to start again.

– In March, a man who assaulted a taxi driver who got out of the car after stopping on the shoulder while struggling with a taxi driver was sentenced to one year and three years in prison in June. In addition to probation measures for two years, they ordered 120 hours of social service and 40 hours of violence treatment classes.
When asked what route the taxi driver would take, the man swears and dragged the collar, saying, “Are you asking for something like that?” When the taxi driver stopped on the shoulder and tried to get off, he blocked the driver and closed the driver’s door strongly, causing the taxi driver’s hand to get caught in the door and hurt.
Even if the victim doesn’t want it, it’s punished
– There were cases of punishment even though the victim agreed with the victim to express his intention that he did not want to be punished. In December of last year, a man who strangled a surrogate driver while driving and committed an assault for no reason was sentenced to three years of probation in one year and June in prison. He stopped the car on the shoulder and threatened the substitute driver with a golf club.
In addition, like Lee, the man who hit his head and face several times for waking up by a taxi driver in September last year was sentenced to two years of probation in January and June of imprisonment. Officials say the cause of the assault is the reason that Vice Minister Lee also woke him asleep in a taxi.
Rep. Cho Soo-jin said, “Even though the degree of the assault was similar to that of this vice minister, or other conditions were similar, the case of the assault of another taxi driver went to the court and was judged. I said.
