On the 27th, Congressman Cho Su-jin, the People’s Power Office, revealed similar cases to Lee’s out of 29 cases of “2020 Seoul Central District Court rulings under the Special Law on Assault Cases of Drivers “. 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 with a fine of 3 million won until parole.

Police heard the reason why the taxi driver assaulted the taxi driver after the taxi stopped for releasing Vice Minister Lee Yong-gu. After reaching the destination apartment’s parking lot, the vehicle came to a complete stop and then the assault occurred, for which it was judged as “a matter that the special pricing law cannot apply.”

However, like this deputy minister, after the taxi stopped, he committed an assault, but there were cases in which the special prices law was applied. In April, a man in his 40s swears by asking a taxi driver suddenly as a taxi pulls up to drop him off. He tugged at the taxi driver’s neck with his hand and strangled him with his leg. He was fined 3 million won.

The court viewed a temporary stop for a customer landing as “in operation”. In Vice Minister Lee’s case, the assault is said to have occurred while the taxi driver was trying to wake him up to get off. After getting out of the taxi in September last year, a man who reopened the driver’s seat door and knocked a taxi driver to the ground was also sentenced to two years’ probation in January and June in prison. The man appealed for a sanctuary upon hearing he was ‘stopping’, but the court considered the situation where the taxi driver was moving to start over after dropping off the man.

When asked which route the taxi driver would take, the man swears and drags the necklace, saying, “Are you asking for something like that?” When the taxi driver stopped on the hard shoulder and tried to get off, he blocked the driver and slammed the driver’s door, causing the driver’s hand to get caught in the door and injure himself.

There were cases of punishment even though the victim agreed with the victim to express her intention that she did not want to be punished. In December of last year, a man who strangled a co-driver while driving and committed a wrongful assault was sentenced to three years probation in one year and June in prison. He stopped the car on the shoulder and threatened the substitute driver with a golf club.

Also, like Lee, the man who hit his head and face multiple times for being awakened by a taxi driver in September last year was sentenced to two years of probation in January and June in prison. Authorities say the cause of the assault is the reason that Vice Minister Lee also woke him up asleep in a taxi.

Representative Cho Soo-jin said, “Although the degree of the assault was similar to that of this deputy minister, or other conditions were similar, the case of the assault of another taxi driver reached the court and was tried. Said.
