Due to the influence of the new coronavirus, there are conspicuous cases of being arrested for drunk driving after drinking alcohol at home, so a crackdown on drunk driving was carried out in residential areas in Aichi prefecture on the night of the 19th.
The Aichi Prefectural Police Headquarters cracked down on the night of the 19th at about 50 locations, including the trunk roads of residential areas in the prefecture.
Of these, on the prefectural road in Naka-ku, Nagoya City, to prevent infection, police officers and drivers can inspect while keeping a distance. Have a stick-shaped detector with a length of about 60 cm blow on and drink alcohol. I was checking.
According to police, the number of drunk driving arrests in Aichi Prefecture was 1397 by the end of October, an increase of 23% from the same period last year, the highest in the country.
It is said that there are many cases where people are arrested in downtown areas every year, but this time there are cases where they are arrested in residential areas because they are drinking alcohol at home and run out of alcohol and snacks and go out to buy more by car. It means that it stands out.
Taku Kasai, Deputy General Manager, Traffic Guidance Division, Aichi Prefectural Police Headquarters, said, "I think there will be more opportunities for" drinking at home "during the year-end and New Year holidays, but never drive under the influence of alcohol."
