Last night, this is the scene of the drunk driving crackdown in Goyang City, Gyeonggi Province.
The police insert a long rod with an alcohol detector into the car's driver's window.
[It detects alcohol in the vehicle.
Don't blow up and stay still.]
This is a new alcohol detector that was newly developed by the police and introduced from last May due to concerns about the corona19 infection.
By detecting the alcohol content in the vehicle, you can check whether the driver is drinking alcohol without direct blowing.
When the detector lamp flashes, the driver gets out of the car and blows the breathalyzer directly.
[Drinking Control Police Officer: From 0.03 (license) will be suspended.
If it is 0.08, it is (license) cancellation.
(Blood alcohol concentration) 0.102.
Did you drive to go home?
(Yes.)] Since
the 12th, as social distancing has eased to the first stage, the number of alcohol accidents increased, and the police began cracking down on drunk driving around entertainment districts.
[Lee Kwang-sik/Ilsan Dongbu Police Station Traffic Safety Manager: The police use non-contact detectors to crack down on drinking alcohol every day.
For safety, I hope you never drunk driving.] The
police caught 13 people in the northern part of Gyeonggi last night.
The police plan to continue drinking control activities until the end of the year.
