[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Bong-ju] Drivers who engaged in reckless driving in the Daejeon and Chungnam areas were caught in large numbers by the police.

On the 7th, the Traffic Crime Investigation Team of the Daejeon Metropolitan Police Agency announced that they conducted an intensive crackdown on traffic accident-inducing behaviors for two months starting from June 22, and 62 drivers were booked without detention on charges of violating the Road Traffic Act.

Among them, 27 people including A (27) are accused of blocking the second lane road near Taprip Samgeori in Yuseong-gu and competing in speed over a 500m section, as well as showing off drifting skills and engaging in reckless driving.

Also, at the Gyeryong Tunnel, 35 people including B (37) drove imported cars at speeds up to 282 km/h. They also engaged in so-called 'rolling racing,' where they drive at low speed and then compete at maximum speed over a predetermined 3.4 km section.

The drivers reportedly told the police that "Songgang in the Daejeon area and Gyeryong Tunnel are well-known racing venues nationwide."

The police booked the drivers involved in reckless driving on charges of joint dangerous acts on the road and reckless driving violations, and imposed penalty points.
