[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] The Jeollanam-do Police Agency announced on the 1st that it will strengthen drunk driving crackdowns by conducting a province-wide simultaneous drunk driving crackdown once a week throughout May.
Recently, with the complete lifting of social distancing measures, gatherings that had been restrained have increased, and drinking sessions continue until dawn.
In fact, the number of drunk driving crackdowns in April reached 484 cases, a 15% increase compared to 420 cases during the same period last year, indicating a heightened risk of drunk driving accidents.
The Jeonnam police plan to do their best to eradicate drunk driving by not only conducting crackdowns but also raising awareness among drivers through promotional activities.
A Jeonnam Police Agency official stated, "Drunk driving is a crime that takes away the precious lives and property of others," and urged, "Please actively report any drunk driving vehicles you encounter."
