On the morning of November 13, when the 2026 College Scholastic Ability Test was held, stories emerged from various parts of South Jeolla Province about students who were able to enter their test centers thanks to the swift assistance of the police.

The South Jeolla Provincial Police Agency and the South Jeolla Autonomous Police Committee deployed 353 personnel, including traffic and local police officers as well as exemplary drivers, from 6:00 a.m. to 8:10 a.m. to provide special traffic management around the test centers.

During this operation, the police assisted five students who faced difficulties due to confusion about their test center locations or the risk of being late.

Around 7:55 a.m. in Naju, a traffic patrol car quickly transported a student who had gone to the wrong test center from Naju High School to Bonghwang High School, covering a distance of approximately 9.5 kilometers.

In Goheung, at about 8:02 a.m., the police spotted a student running toward the test center just before the admission deadline and promptly gave the student a ride in a patrol car to ensure timely arrival.

In Mokpo, at approximately 7:57 a.m., a traffic motorcycle escorted a vehicle carrying a student who had gone to the wrong test center, guiding it from Jeil Girls' High School to Jeongmyeong Girls' High School-a distance of 5.2 kilometers-in just five minutes.

In Yeosu, two police motorcycles and a patrol car guided a vehicle carrying a student who was confused about the test center location, ensuring the student entered safely and on time.

Additionally, the highway patrol assisted a parent whose car had a flat tire at the 7.5-kilometer mark on the Gwang-Daeseon highway toward Gwangju, while they were delivering a lunchbox to their child at Gwangju Sangil Girls' High School. The officers transported the parent to the test center.

A South Jeolla police official stated, "We did our utmost to ensure that students could safely take the exam they had prepared for throughout the year."
