DAEGU, (South Korea): A South-Korean court said on Thursday (Oct 3) that it has cleared a 60-year-old man of drunk driving charges, ruling that his consumption of alcohol after stopping his car made it impossible to determine if he had been intoxicated while driving.
The man was initially suspected of driving 2.4km in the city of Daegu with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.128 per cent.
