The house of a motorist with multiple driving under the influence (DUI) offenses was repossessed yesterday in line with tougher actions being taken by the judiciary to deter drunk driving.
The repeat offender, surnamed Lin (林), had been issued 11 tickets within three years for allegedly driving his scooter drunk in Changhua County, officials at the Ministry of Justice’s Administrative Enforcement Agency said.
Lin had accumulated NT$900,000 in fines, but refused to pay, they said.
From 2015 to last year, Lin was pulled over numerous times for roadside breath testing after police observed erratic driving behavior, police records showed.
