[사회]Intensive crackdown on drunk driving at the end of the year … the ‘drinking table’ is also subject to crackdown

[앵커]

On the end of the year and New Year holidays, the police launched a special offensive against drunk drivers in the entertainment district.

Drunk driving has been detected in several places, from people riding electric scooters after drinking alcohol to drivers driving a car with a passenger.

A highway in front of Hongdae, Seoul.

At around 10 p.m., a man rinsed his mouth with police water.

A man avoiding measurement by pretending to blow into the breathalyzer,

“You have to do it anyway. Refusing to measure alcohol is punished more severely than drinking alcohol.”

As a result of alcohol consumption, the blood alcohol concentration was 0.115%.

The man claimed to have driven out of the car after drinking three glasses of soju.

Some men were caught drinking alcohol and riding an electric skateboard.

It is also strengthening the crackdown on alcohol consumption on electric scooters, bicycles, and motorcycle riders whose users have recently increased.

“0.078% left. 0.078% of the license is suspended.”

They also captured a man who was driving after drinking with his family.

[B 씨 / 음주 운전자 : 이런 적 처음이어서, 저 많이 먹지도 않았어요. (얼마나 드신 거에요?) 소주 두잔 정도 먹었는데.]

Both passengers drank alcohol.

Drunk drivers were caught one after another in the Japanese crackdown on the upcoming New Year and New Year holidays.

In particular, since the beginning of this year, due to the corona 19 epidemic, the misunderstanding that ‘the police do not repress alcohol consumption’ has spread.

At the end of October, drunk traffic accidents increased from 1,770 last year to 1,921 this year.

Police emphasized that they would further toughen the crackdown, as drunk driving will increase due to the increasing number of places to drink during the end of the year and New Year holidays.

[김구섭 / 강서경찰서 교통안전계 경위 : 우리 시민들이 코로나19로 국민들이 어려운 시기에 음주운전만은 절대 하지 않는 방향으로 하고 꼭 가족을 생각하고 내 이웃을 생각하면서 안전 운전 하길 바라는 마음입니다.]

This special crackdown is scheduled to roll out unexpectedly across the city of Seoul until the end of January next year.
