Now it has been discontinued and many have disappeared, but there is a car that was once called the ‘self-employed foot’.
It is a small van called ‘Damas’.
However, a 12-year-old Damas driver received an absurd notice from the police.
He said he was driving at a speed of 152 km/h, which is not on the dashboard, in broad daylight, and was asked to be investigated by the police.
Reporter Kang Seo-young will tell you what happened.
◀ Report ▶
Seung-wook Cho, who runs a car parts delivery business, received an absurd notice last month.
There was a charge of excessive speeding, so he was told to come to the police investigation.
On December 7, last year, Mr. Cho’s vehicle was caught by a surveillance camera while driving at a speed of 152 km/h.
Joe was not convinced.
The vehicle used to deliver vehicle parts is ‘Damas’.
It is a 12-year-old car produced in 2010 as a small van with a small body and engine.
The top speed of this car is 140 km/h, and the speed of 152 km/h is not even on the dashboard.

“Absolutely impossible. No signage or the state of this car or anything else (152 km/h), nobody.”
However, the police said that there is no wrong way to measure the surveillance camera, so they suspended Mr. Cho’s license and told him to go to the prosecution and explain.
Is it possible for Damas to run at 152 km/h in broad daylight in the middle of the city?
I step on the accelerator hard, but it is not easy to exceed 100 km/h.
“Yeah, I’m stepping on it all the way.”

“Even if I drive more than 100km/h, the car vibrates and vibrates…”
Ssangbongbong Street in broad daylight, where the crackdown took place, is one of the busiest places in Yeosu as it is located in the middle of the city.
When the investigation began in earnest, the police belatedly admitted the error.
The enforcement camera captures the time the car passes through two reference points to determine whether it is speeding, but the error occurred because the gap between the Damas and the car in front was narrow.

“We’re doing something like checking the system to see if there’s a measurement error and what part is causing it.”
In 2017, it was also revealed that the error rate of unmanned surveillance camera measurements was close to 80% in Gwangju and Daegu.
