[Reporter Cai Zhangsheng/Hsinchu Report] A man in Hsinchu County had multiple previous convictions for drunk driving, but last year he was drunk again and refused to pay a fine of more than 20,000 yuan. When it was found out that he had inherited a house and was about to seal up his ancestral property, the man was so frightened that he hurriedly paid it.

The Hsinchu Branch of the Administrative Enforcement Office of the Ministry of Justice continues to intensify its law enforcement efforts against drunk driving cases. A citizen of Hsinchu County had an alcohol concentration exceeding the limit in October last year. He rode a motorcycle on Zhongfeng Road, Zhudong Township, Hsinchu County, and was punished by the Hsinchu District Supervision Office. A fine of 22,500 yuan was paid, but because of failure to pay, the Hsinchu District Supervisory Office transferred it to the Hsinchu Branch Office for enforcement, and the Hsinchu Branch Office seized all the land and houses he inherited according to law.

It seems to be common for the man to refuse to pay the ticket. The Hsinchu Branch Office found that besides this case, he had the same history of being punished for drunk driving in 2001 and 2014. In 2016, the Hsinchu District Court sentenced him to 3 fixed-term imprisonment In July, the recidivism last year still failed to pay the fine. After accepting the case, the Hsinchu Branch Office launched an investigation into the properties under its name. The agency dealt with all the land and houses inherited by the man. The man was really frightened. He was afraid that his ancestral property would be lost, so he immediately raised funds to the Hsinchu branch office and paid in full.
