Jeonbuk Police Special Crackdown on 'Drunk and Drugged Driving'

Sudden Joint Crackdowns Throughout the Province Also Conducted... Until January Next Year

The Jeonbuk Provincial Police Agency (Chief Choi Jong-moon) announced on the 31st that it will conduct a special crackdown on drunk and drugged driving for three months from the 1st of next month until the end of January next year.

According to the Jeonbuk Police, due to special crackdowns on drunk driving and intensive publicity in the first half of this year, the number of drunk driving fatalities has steadily decreased from 11 to 8 as of September compared to last year. However, socially contentious drunk driving fatal accidents are still occurring.

Accordingly, the police will conduct constant crackdowns on drunk and drugged driving in entertainment and busy districts, as well as highway entrances and exits to foster an atmosphere of eradicating drunk driving. In addition, to further enhance the prevention effect of drunk driving traffic accidents, unannounced simultaneous crackdowns will also be carried out throughout the province.

Furthermore, if there is suspicion of drinking but no alcohol is detected, distributed drug test kits will be used to also crack down on drugged driving.

Choi Jong-moon, Chief of the Jeonbuk Provincial Police Agency, said, "Please leave your car behind and use public transportation when attending drinking gatherings," and added, "We ask all residents to participate in eradicating drunk driving, which destroys families and society."
