In May 2013, Ferenczi drove in Ajka when hit an elderly woman  who died while being transported to the hospital. He was charged with negligent causing a fatal road accident. Gábor Ferenczi waived his immunity, but appealed against the suspicion, which was rejected by the Prosecutor General's Office. According to Ferenczi, the accident could not have been avoided. On 30 September 2015, the District Court of Ajka sentenced him to one year of probation, suspended for two years, and banned him from driving for three years. In his reasoning, the judge said the delay in perceiving and acting was to blame for the accused, but the intent was not. The Court of Veszprém upheld the judgment at first instance. References
