[사회]Catch’expedition drunk driving’…Strengthening crackdown on highway exits

[앵커]

In recent years, as the weather has eased and the distancing steps in non-metropolitan areas have eased, there is a growing concern that drunk driving will also increase.

In particular, to catch the trick of driving drunk after leaving the so-called drinking expedition to the non-metropolitan area, the police launched a massive crackdown on highway roads.

At 10 p.m., when the restaurant is closed, the police crack down on drinking alcohol against a vehicle spilled on the streets of downtown Seoul.

30 minutes after the crackdown began, the non-contact alcohol detector sounds an alarm,

[경찰 관계자 : 부세요. 네. 더더더더더]

The male driver who got out of the car had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.099% and a license cancellation level.

In fact, the number of traffic accidents that occurred last year, when Corona 19 began, has increased more than a year ago.

The number of people who ate alcohol and held the steering wheel increased because of the uneasy feeling that the crackdown would not be severe because of concerns about infection.

In particular, from the 15th, the business hours of entertainment bars in the non-metropolitan area were lifted, and people who left the so-called’bar expedition’ secretly grabbed the steering wheel and were caught.

On the night of the 18th, a total of 31 people were caught as a result of the police cracking down on alcohol at the entrance to the highway.

The police plan to enforce joint crackdowns on the entrances and exits of highways in the metropolitan area, such as the Gyeongbu and Gyeongin Expressway Intersections, and strengthen the regular crackdown to the level of the year-end and New Year holidays.
