[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, announced plans to raise the speed limit to 60 km/h and strengthen the license disqualification period for drunk driving.

On the day, Candidate Yoon announced his 23rd and 24th Shorts pledges through the 'Yoon Seok-yeol YouTube' channel. Shorts pledges are 59-second videos that concisely present campaign promises.

The 23rd Shorts pledge is the introduction of an 'Intelligent Transportation System' that allows raising the speed limit up to 60 km/h in cases where pedestrian traffic is impossible or where speed limits are unnecessary. The current 'Safe Speed 5030' policy contributes to pedestrian safety, but issues have been raised, such as older diesel vehicles experiencing reduced emission reduction functions when driven at low speeds.

The 24th Shorts pledge is to strengthen the license disqualification period for drunk drivers. For all cases, including simple drunk driving twice with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08% or higher, property damage accidents, and personal injury accidents, the disqualification period will be raised from 1 year to 3 years.
