The Gyeonggi Northern Police Agency said that last night, when the summer vacation season was at its peak, 22 drivers were arrested during a Japanese drunken crackdown at entertainment districts and highway intersections in northern Gyeonggi Province.
10 people with license revocation level and 12 with license suspension level were caught, including a driver who was driving in a drunken state with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.250%, which is more than three times the license revocation level.
All traffic police officers available from 13 police stations in northern Gyeonggi Province were put into the crackdown last night.
The police believe that drunk driving attempts are likely to increase as the number of drinking parties increases due to the holiday season and the lifting of social distancing.
In addition, we decided to further increase the ‘locust-type crackdown’, which moves places every 20 to 30 minutes to prevent drivers from predicting the crackdown location or sharing crackdown information through SNS, etc.
