I'm currently in the delivery business, and driving is a prerequisite for maintaining a living. Having to support my family day in and day out, suspending my license can cause serious livelihood difficulties.
On the day of the incident, I was forced to violate the signal for the transfer of an urgent family to the hospital. It was never an intentional violation of the law, and I have been driving in accordance with the law.
Also, please consider that you have been driving accident-free by strictly following the traffic laws, and I sincerely hope you will give me leniency just this once.

We deeply reflect on our mistakes and promise to follow the law more thoroughly in the future.
I sincerely ask you to reduce the suspension of your license just this once.
