[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Jindo Police Station (Chief Jin Jeom-ok) announced on the 31st that it has recently introduced the ‘S-shaped trap’ DUI checkpoint technique and is conducting traffic duty to dispel the perception that the police are not cracking down on drunk driving due to ‘COVID-19’.

The S-shaped trap DUI checkpoint creates an S-shaped driving lane using traffic cones, allowing officers to visually identify drunk driving vehicles without contacting the slow-moving drivers, receiving positive responses from drivers.

In addition, in line with the amendment to the Road Traffic Act (known as the Min-sik Act) implemented on the 25th, efforts are being made to promote awareness by posting banners and distributing leaflets emphasizing strengthened penalties to prevent traffic accidents in school zones.

Jin Jeom-ok, Chief of Jindo Police Station, stated, “We will foster traffic safety awareness by strengthening DUI crackdowns and preventive measures not only to prevent community infection of COVID-19 but also to ensure that residents’ lives and property are not threatened by drunk driving, thereby creating a safe Jindo County without fatal accidents.”
