Supreme Court acquits drunk driver because pushing a car is not driving.

Table of contents

The Supreme Court has decided to acquit a driver who was under the influence of alcohol, arguing that pushing a vehicle does not constitute the offence of drink-driving. The judgment, issued on 29 November under number 893/2023, partially overturns the previous conviction on three charges related to road safety, on the grounds that the legal requirements are not met to consider that one was driving when pushing a vehicle that was switched off.
