Jeonnam Police Conduct Intensive Crackdown on Drunk Driving During Vacation Season

Starting from the 15th, Japanese alcohol crackdown begins and continues until the end of August

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] The Jeonnam Provincial Police Agency announced on the 14th that starting from the nationwide simultaneous drunk driving crackdown on the 15th, they will conduct intensive drunk driving enforcement during the vacation season until the 31st of next month to eradicate drunk driving as the summer vacation season begins.

As of the end of June, drunk driving accidents in the Jeonnam area have decreased compared to the same period last year, but with the full-scale vacation season approaching, drunk driving is expected to increase, so proactive accident prevention activities will be carried out.

Accordingly, drunk driving enforcement will be strengthened around vacation spots where outdoor activities and traffic volume are expected to increase, entertainment districts, and major connecting roads.

In particular, drunk driving checkpoints will be conducted by frequently changing locations, and simultaneous drunk driving crackdowns across the province will be conducted at least once a week to raise awareness among drivers.

Additionally, to prevent the spread of COVID-19, non-contact detectors will be used, and quarantine rules such as wearing masks and gloves will be strictly followed. Joint drunk driving eradication publicity activities will also be conducted with local governments and related organizations to create an atmosphere of eliminating drunk driving.

A Jeonnam police official stated, “Drunk driving is a criminal act that poses a great threat not only to oneself but also to the lives and safety of others,” and urged, “Drivers themselves should recognize the dangers of drunk driving and take the lead in establishing a mature culture that can eradicate drunk driving.”
