The Morning Post reports (reporter Wu Xin) that Yuan, from Jiangsu province, was driving a small car under the influence of alcohol on the auxiliary road of the Jinghu Expressway when he was caught by the police. However, Yuan refused to cooperate with the police investigation and instead locked the car doors and fell asleep inside the vehicle. Yesterday, defendant Yuan appeared in court at Xiangyang Court. The court sentenced Yuan to two months of detention on the spot.
In the final phase, Yuan did not offer much in his own defense. "I know I was wrong; I shouldn't have driven after drinking," said Yuan. He admitted his guilt and hoped other drivers would take him as a warning not to drive after drinking. The court found that defendant Yuan had a weak legal awareness, drove under the influence of alcohol, and his actions constituted dangerous driving (www.xtebxwx.cn). Xiangyang Court sentenced Yuan to two months of detention and fined him 1000 yuan.

However, when the police apprehended Yuan, he did not cooperate with the investigation. The police asked Yuan to get out of the car for testing, but Yuan did not exit the vehicle. Instead, he rolled up the windows, turned off the engine, and locked the car doors. Later, he simply fell asleep in the driver's seat.
"I was scared stiff and fell asleep in the driver's seat," said Yuan. He claimed that the car doors automatically locked when he didn't get out of the car. The judge asked, "When did you get out of the car for testing?" Yuan thought for a moment and replied, "I don't remember." "How long did you sleep?" "About an hour."
Yuan's colleague testified that on that evening, they had dinner together at a restaurant near their workplace. Yuan drank alcohol and then drove him back to their temporary residence. "I advised Yuan not to drive after drinking, but Yuan said it was fine," recalled the colleague. During the journey, Yuan encountered the police. Yuan lowered the window, spoke to the officer, then raised the window and locked the car doors. Inside the car, the colleague asked Yuan what to do, but Yuan didn't respond. Soon after, Yuan fell asleep. Later, the colleague noticed an ambulance next to the car and persuaded Yuan, "Don't make this into a bigger issue." The colleague then opened the car door. The police determined that Yuan was driving under the influence of alcohol (http://www.qfrqza.info).
During the trial, defendant Yuan pleaded guilty. He recalled that on the night of the incident, he had dinner with a colleague and drank less than three taels of white wine. The judge asked, "Were you drunk at the time?" "I wasn't drunk at the time," Yuan answered.
According to the prosecution, on the night of May 2, 2011, defendant Yuan was driving a BYD brand small car on the outbound section of the Jinghu Expressway towards Dayangfang Toll Station in Chaoyang District when he was apprehended by the police. Testing revealed that Yuan's blood alcohol content was 101.6 mg/100ml.
