[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] The Gyeongnam Provincial Police Agency will conduct a comprehensive crackdown on drunk driving across the province on the 16th.

The provincial police agency announced on the 15th that the crackdown will be implemented to prevent accidents and proactively curb the culture of drunk driving, as the number of gatherings has increased following the lifting of social distancing measures, which could lead to a rise in drunk driving accidents.

On that day, all police stations in Gyeongnam will mobilize traffic and local police officers as well as the police mobile unit to the fullest extent to conduct spot mobile crackdowns near ▲major tourist attractions ▲restaurant districts ▲downtown entertainment areas.

The highway patrol unit will also conduct crackdowns at tollgate entry and exit points, and the provincial police’s undercover patrol crackdown team will carry out joint operations with frontline police station crackdown teams.

A police agency official stated, “Accidents caused by drunk driving can potentially lead to major accidents,” and added, “Even if you have had just one drink, you must never drive. If you suspect a vehicle is being driven under the influence, please report it to 112.”
