In particular, when reckless drivers appear, their movement routes will be tracked and patrol cars will be pre-positioned along expected routes through cooperative activities to block reckless driving. At the same time, thorough evidence collection and pursuit investigations will be conducted to arrest and prosecute all reckless drivers and passengers.

Meanwhile, the police will continue to enforce crackdowns on illegal tuning of vehicle headlights, mufflers, steering devices, and deliberate obscuring of license plates in collaboration with the Seoul Metropolitan Government (Taxi Policy Division) and the Korea Transportation Safety Authority (Safety Management Division).

A representative of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency emphasized, “As reckless drivers have recently appeared in major downtown areas, we will strive to eradicate illegal acts that cause road hazards through continuous crackdowns and investigative activities against reckless and aggressive driving.”
