[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Bong-ju] A designated driver who was driving a customer while intoxicated was caught during a police crackdown.


The Gyeonggi Gwangju Police Station announced on the 25th that A (55) was booked without detention on charges of drunk driving under the Road Traffic Act.


Designated driver A is accused of driving customer B's Sportage passenger car for about 1 km on a road in Ssangryeong-dong, Gwangju City, while intoxicated at around 10:40 p.m. on the 22nd.



Upon seeing the police conducting a sobriety checkpoint, A tried to turn the car around about 100 meters before the checkpoint to escape, but was stopped by the pursuing officers and subjected to a breathalyzer test. The blood alcohol concentration was 0.125%, which corresponds to the level for license cancellation.
