90.8% of the respondents were drunk, and 9.2% were women. In 2018, 58.2% of male drivers and 41.8% of female drivers are males, although the majority of women who have the so-called 'long license' are the majority of those who drunk.

● Most accidents when blood alcohol concentration is 0.10 ~ 0.14%!

If you're caught drunk driving, measure your blood alcohol content. The blood alcohol levels that caused the most accidents were between 0.10 and 0.14% and 37.3%.

● Drunk driving itself is decreasing, but ...

Drunk driving is steadily decreasing. The number of drunk driving caught was estimated based on the number of drunk driving caught, but the drunk driving caught, which was 25,1,675 in 2014, fell below 200,000 in 2018 and was counted as 16,012 cases. Thing. According to this trend, the number of drunk driving caught in 2019 will be around 120,000.

● The habitual drunk driver is not decreasing!

The problem is that they have been caught more than three times, the proportion of drunk drivers. In 2011, 15.2 percent of drivers were found to have been drunk over three times. In 2017, the proportion increased to 19.2 percent.

Drunk driving itself is decreasing but the number of frequent drunk drivers is increasing, what does this mean? Those who have been drunk once or twice are caught watching the bitter taste of life, and some habitual criminals continue to drink and drive after being caught. Only drunk driving detections can be counted, and it is impossible to know how many times un drunk driving has been detected. I still have a long way to go.
