Jeonnam Police Conduct Nationwide Drunk Driving Crackdown Focused on Areas Around Restaurants and Entertainment Districts

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Due to the spread of COVID-19, shortened business hours, and strengthened social distancing measures leading to a general atmosphere of refraining from gatherings, as well as continuous drunk driving crackdowns, no fatal drunk driving accidents have occurred so far this year.

According to the Jeonnam Police Agency on the 11th, a simultaneous crackdown on drunk driving will be conducted at 21 police stations and highways in the Jeonnam region on this day.

This is because an increase in drunk driving is expected due to more gatherings following the easing of social distancing, such as extended operating hours at multi-use facilities.

The police have been conducting drunk driving crackdowns mainly around entertainment districts and restaurant areas where various gatherings and drinking occasions frequently occur.

Through this simultaneous crackdown, the police plan to raise drivers' awareness of drunk driving and create an atmosphere to eradicate drunk driving.

A Jeonnam Police Agency official stated, “Drunk driving is a crime that takes away the precious lives and property of others,” adding, “We will regularly conduct simultaneous drunk driving crackdowns and strengthen publicity targeting drivers to eradicate drunk driving.”
