During the investigation, the police found that Wei Nan exuded a strong smell of alcohol. After conducting a sobriety test on the spot, the alcohol test value exceeded the legal limit. Further police investigation found that Wei Nan had been caught by the police for drunk driving five times in the past, but he still failed to remember the lesson and drove drunk again. The whole case was transferred for investigation on suspicion of violating the criminal law and public danger.

The police urge people not to take chances while driving after drinking, or ride powered machinery including micro electric two-wheelers. This not only endangers their own safety, but also easily causes serious harm to other road users. After drinking, people should take public transportation, taxis, substitute drivers, or ask relatives and friends to pick them up to avoid accidents that may harm others and not benefit themselves.

A heavy-duty motorcycle was caught on the Miaoli section of Provincial Line 3 while driving around a corner. Mr. Chen was fined NT$18,000 for each of the two violations.

On August 31 last year, a man surnamed Chen twice rode a large heavy-duty vehicle on a curve at 120 kilometers of Highway 3 in Shitan Township, Miaoli County. He used his left knee to grind the road at high speed and drove the car at high speed. Instead of slowing down, he increased the tilt and deviated from the lane. The police reported him as dangerous driving and fined him two NT$18,000 each and suspended his license plate for six months. Chen Nan argued that it was not dangerous driving and should not be fined repeatedly for the same behavior. However, the court found that his behavior highly threatened the safety of passers-by, and the two violations were clearly independent behaviors in time and space. The ruling was correct and his administrative lawsuit was dismissed.
