Recently, so-called 'carspotting', which shoots a supercar running in the middle of downtown Seoul, is spreading like a fad. However, the problem is that people who want to take pictures of the supercars are flocking to the road, and


some car owners who

purposely drive more to show off their vehicles

are completely ignoring road laws, which is not easy to crack down on. 



Reporter Ha Jeong-yeon reported on the spot.

Dosan-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, where high-end foreign car dealerships are concentrated.



At the edge of India, people are lining up in a narrow line.



I am anxiously waiting for something with all kinds of shooting equipment, but when a foreign car drives with a roar, I get busy all at once.



People start to gather around lunch time on the weekend.



This is to do so-called 'car spotting', which is a compound word of car meaning car and spot meaning discovery.



[I think it's until 8 or 9 at night, folks. (How many cars are there usually?) Most of them are in their 50s and 60s.]



Young students also stand out.



[(Are you doing this as a hobby?) Once a week, Sunday. (Where do you upload this when you take it?) Yes, it goes to YouTube. Oh, I missed both.] As a



supercar passes by, I grab my camera and run.



A crossing without a crosswalk, the snow is fixed on the supercar, so it's dangerous.



When rare supercars appear, they often jump into the driveway and occupy an entire lane.



Even the speeding of some vehicles can seem dangerous.



It doesn't care about the speed limit in the city, and the huge exhaust sound quickly deafens your ears.



As if going around a circuit, he makes several U-turns and runs in the same section, making an exhaust sound as if in front of the camera.



Neighborhood residents and merchants are also seriously inconvenienced by people competing to shoot supercars, and some car owners sprinting down the road to show off their vehicles.



[The exhaust noise is severe and there are many complaints from residents. A lot of our customers say it's noisy, and there are a lot of people who live here. Once we have a consultation, we cannot do it because of the sound of supercars… .] Although the



police are frequently cracking down on violations of traffic laws in the section, the damage is still there.



In particular, it is said that it is not easy to detect the problem of exhaust noise or road encroachment because it happens in a very short period of time, and because club members often share enforcement information with each other.



[(speed) 150-200 km per hour is the default. I report it to the police a lot, but it disappears only when I report it, and (people) just go out and take pictures while lying down. When waiting for a car at a crosswalk... .] The



police say they are conducting regular crackdowns and guidance, and are in the position to use a hidden patrol car.



However, realistically, it is not easy to catch them one by one, so it seems necessary to actively crack down and make efforts to abide by traffic laws.
