Jeonnam Police Conduct Intensive Year-End Drunk Driving Crackdown in Preparation for 'Phased Daily Recovery'
Implemented from the 3rd to the end of January next year to Prevent Drunk Driving Accidents
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] The Jeonnam Provincial Police Agency and the Jeonnam Autonomous Police Committee announced on the 3rd that they will conduct intensive crackdowns on drunk driving from the 3rd until the end of January next year in preparation for the increase in drinking gatherings due to the implementation of the ‘gradual recovery of daily life’ and the upcoming year-end and New Year holidays.
According to the Jeonnam Police Agency, as of the end of October, drunk driving traffic accidents in the Jeonnam area decreased by 28.7% compared to the same period last year (deaths -48%, injuries -32.6%).
The police expect an increase in drunk driving as the ‘gradual recovery of daily life’ is implemented and the festive atmosphere of the year-end and New Year holidays sets in, and plan to carry out proactive accident prevention activities.
In particular, crackdowns will be conducted by frequently changing the time and place, such as day and night and late night, in areas where drunk driving accidents are a concern, such as entertainment districts and restaurant areas.
In addition, to prevent the spread of COVID-19, non-contact detectors will be used, and quarantine rules such as wearing masks and gloves will be followed. Joint campaigns with local governments and related organizations will also be conducted to promote the eradication of drunk driving and create an atmosphere against drunk driving.
