Gwangju Police Agency Launches Major Crackdown on Reckless Motorcycle Driving

The Gwangju Metropolitan Police Agency is making every effort to prevent motorcycle accidents.

The Gwangju Metropolitan Police Agency and the City Autonomous Police Committee announced on the 25th that they have decided to actively respond as the number of fatalities from two-wheeled vehicle traffic accidents has surged this year.

They will mobilize traffic police, undercover patrol units, motorcycle police, and mobile units to crack down on traffic violations such as reckless driving, loud noise, and sharp turns, focusing on accident-prone areas and places where reckless and speeding behaviors frequently occur.

Promotion of two-wheeled vehicle safety education targeting delivery workers and youth will also be strengthened.

The number of fatalities from two-wheeled vehicle traffic accidents reached 8 by April this year, accounting for 67% of all traffic fatalities.

A police official urged, "In the case of two-wheeled vehicle accidents, unlike general vehicles, the driver can suffer fatal injuries, so it is essential to wear safety equipment such as helmets."

He added, "Do not commit traffic violations such as running red lights, crossing the center line, driving against traffic, or speeding, and general vehicle drivers should also pay close attention and comply with traffic laws when making left turns or U-turns."
