Jeonnam Police Conduct Special Crackdown on Drunk Driving During Chuseok Holiday

Continuous and Random Drunk Driving Crackdowns Conducted During 5-Day Holiday Until the 22nd

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Jeonnam Police Agency announced on the 16th that it will conduct a special crackdown on drunk driving for five days starting from the 18th, when the Chuseok holiday begins, aiming for zero (ZERO) drunk driving fatal accidents during the holiday.

As of the end of August, the number of drunk driving casualties in the Jeonnam area has decreased compared to the same period last year.

The Jeonnam police plan to carry out activities to prevent traffic accidents by preemptively blocking the atmosphere of drunk driving, as there are concerns that drunk driving will increase due to more drinking gatherings during family and acquaintances' meetings during the holiday.

Also, during the holiday period, sudden drunk driving checks will be conducted day and night on highways, major connecting roads, and around restaurant and entertainment districts.

In particular, selective inspections will be conducted on vehicles suspected of drunk driving even during traffic management duties on the way to and from hometown visits.

A Jeonnam police official urged, "We ask all drivers to participate in safe driving so that joyful meetings with family, relatives, and acquaintances during the holiday are not stained by drunk driving."
