A Kaohsiung man, Mr. Su, found himself apprehended by the same police officer for drunk driving for the second time within a month, exclaiming in disbelief, "How is it you again?"
On the night of the 18th, officers patrolling in Gushan District stopped Su for smoking a cigarette while riding his scooter and crossing double yellow lines. The officer immediately recognized Su, having previously cited him for drunk driving just last month. Despite his initial claims of not having consumed alcohol, Su eventually admitted to drinking several bottles of beer during dinner.

His blood alcohol content exceeded the legal limit, registering at 0.19 milligrams per liter. This marks his second offense for drunk driving. Previously, his license was suspended, and his vehicle impounded.
In addition to facing heavier fines, Su is also being cited for driving with a suspended license, smoking while operating a vehicle, and failing to adhere to lane markings. The total penalties could amount to over 120,000 New Taiwan Dollars.
