In May this year, a man surnamed Qiu in Keelung took amphetamines at his residence and drove out. When he was driving on Jingxin Road, the drug took effect and caused him to lose control of his vehicle. He hit a police car and a car, and then rushed to the separation island before stopping. The police later found Qiu Nan to be driving under the influence of drugs and brought him to justice in accordance with the law. During the trial at the Keelung District Court, Qiu Nan said he wanted to raise two grandchildren and promised not to take drugs again, hoping to get a lighter sentence. The judge considered Qiu Nan's guilty plea and his family situation and sentenced him to six months in prison and a fine of 20,000 yuan.

According to the prosecutor's investigation, Qiu Nan, who had a history of public danger, took the drug amphetamine at home in the early morning of May 19 this year. He still drove on the road. When he passed the entrance of the Youth Division of the Keelung City Police Station, he lost control of his driving and directly hit a police car and a car parked on the roadside. After Qiu Nan got into the accident, he continued to drive away and then crashed into the separation island.

After hearing the news, the police rushed forward and stopped the person. Seeing that he was looking distracted, they obtained his consent to collect urine and send it for testing. It was confirmed that the test was positive for amphetamines and he was transferred to justice for committing a public danger crime.

When Qiu Nan answered the question, he confessed to the judge that he had committed a crime, and said that he suffered from many diseases, and his grandson's parents who were studying in junior high school and elementary school were no longer around, so he had to take care of himself. He also promised not to drive under the influence of drugs again, and hoped that the judge would give him a lighter sentence.

After the trial, the judge believed that Qiu Nan's drug-driving behavior seriously endangers road safety and is a repeat offender. However, considering his admission of the crime, the condition of his home, no casualties, and the fact that he had completed compensation, he was sentenced to six months in prison for committing a public danger crime, a fine of RMB 180,000, and a fine of RMB 20,000.
