“The non-contact breath detector tested positive for alcohol. I’m going to drive off the shoulder for a moment and do a breath test.
Around 8:30 pm on the 27th, a street near the entertainment district in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. When police pushed the non-contact detector through a car window, the yellow-green light turned orange and a “beep beep” sounded. The middle-aged driver got out of the car with a confused expression.
The police officer handed him a 200 ml bottle of mineral water, rinsed his mouth, and made him breathe through the disposable fire holder of the breathalyzer. The blood alcohol concentration shown on the meter display is 0.045%. It was a number corresponding to the suspension of a license.
As a second step of social distancing, a man who rushed home before 9:00 pm when the restaurant closed the aisle business, blushed and said, “I thought it would be okay to drink two soju an hour or two ago. , but I will avoid this in the future. “
Police carried out a Japanese colonial control on alcohol consumption for about two hours starting at 8 pm on the same day in various places, such as Seoul’s entertainment districts and nearby markets where traffic accidents frequently occur. Of these, three people were repressed in two law enforcement branches in Gangnam and their licenses were suspended. One of them was caught driving an electric scooter while drinking alcohol.
A police officer said: “We are inspecting electric motorcycles and scooters, as well as cars and buses without exception.”
What stands out about today’s crackdown is that the time zone is earlier than before. Considering the initial stage of social distancing.
A police officer said: “In the past, we usually cracked down on 10 at night, but in the second stage, we will try to prevent drunk drivers with strict measures before 9 at night, when restaurants and bars are restricted. “

Alcohol consumption was suppressed for about two hours from 8:30 pm on the road on a round trip in Mapo-gu, Seoul. The police took a light stick and made the cars stop one by one, then pushed the contactless detector through the window.
Here, a car after 10 pm was seized by the police. The driver of the vehicle said: “I was driving for a while when they told me to get out of the car while drinking.” He measured the blood alcohol concentration and found a number equivalent to the cancellation of a license. The police also ordered that the passengers be investigated for helping to drive while intoxicated.
In other vehicles, when the non-contact detector showed a reaction to alcohol, the driver was baffled that he didn’t drink at all. The result of the reconfirmation was that the alcohol component of the hand sanitizer was detected.
A police officer explained: “The non-contact detector is very sensitive, so it detects perfume sprayed by the driver or hand sanitizer applied to the hand,” he said. “For accurate detection, a breathalyzer should be used and, if the driver wishes, a blood draw is also performed.”
