Under the supervision of each metropolitan and provincial police agency, joint crackdowns will be conducted at least twice a week, including every Friday. In addition, continuous and occasional crackdowns will be carried out by region.

The locations for drunk driving crackdowns will be selected based on areas of concern such as school zones, entertainment and busy districts, golf courses, highway tollgate entrances and exits, and areas with frequent 112 emergency calls. Intensive crackdowns will be conducted day and night regardless of time.

A National Police Agency official stated, “If caught drunk driving, not only the driver but also passengers who aid and abet may be punished, and the vehicle may be confiscated. We hope everyone has a safe summer vacation without drunk driving.”
