On the 10th, a video titled "Is this a bumper car? Mouths drop at the unfolding situation" was uploaded to the National Police Agency's YouTube channel. The video showed a vehicle driving against the flow on a one-way street in Gwanak-gu, Seoul, last month. The driver, who was driving in the wrong direction, climbed onto the sidewalk to avoid an oncoming vehicle. During this, the driver caused a collision by hitting the left side mirror of the oncoming car. Although the victim reached out to call the driver, the offending vehicle remained still for a long time before suddenly folding in its side mirror and fleeing the scene.

Shortly after leaving the one-way street, the offending vehicle recklessly maneuvered through traffic on another road and caused another collision with a different vehicle. However, this vehicle also left the scene without taking any further action.

The police received a report about a vehicle involved in an accident that had not taken proper measures and began a search, eventually locating the offending vehicle. To prevent the driver from fleeing, the police blocked the front of the vehicle and made the driver get out. The driver was confirmed to be heavily intoxicated. The police arrested the driver at the scene.

Netizens who saw this reacted with comments such as "We need to strengthen penalties for drunk driving," "Driving the wrong way and invading the sidewalk could have led to a major accident," "The police's quick response prevented further damage," and "Drinking and driving in broad daylight is unbelievable."
