Jeonnam Police: "Absolutely No Drunk Driving"... Pushing for Random Checkpoints

At Least Once a Week, Province-wide Joint Checkpoints
Twice-weekly Spot Checks Conducted by Each Police Station

The Jeonnam Police will conduct year-round random checkpoints to eradicate drunk driving during the spring excursion season.

The Jeollanam-do Provincial Police Agency and the Jeollanam-do Autonomous Police Committee announced on March 10 that, with the increase in local festivals during the spring, they will mobilize all available personnel—including traffic police, local police, and the mobile unit—to strengthen irregular and unannounced drunk driving checkpoints.

According to the Jeonnam Police, joint checkpoints led by the Provincial Police Agency will be conducted with participation from all police stations at least once a week. Additionally, each police station plans to carry out its own checkpoints at least twice a week.

The checkpoints will be conducted using a "spot" method at key intersections and along main travel routes in cities, counties, towns, and villages, both day and night. The intensity of enforcement will be increased by deploying not only traffic police but also the mobile unit and local police officers.

The police also emphasized the necessity of preventing drunk driving accidents.

Already this year, there have been a total of 12 fatal drunk driving accidents nationwide, one of which occurred in Jeonnam.

An official from the Jeonnam Provincial Police Agency stated, "Drunk driving can be checked at any time and anywhere. If you have even a single drink, you must never get behind the wheel. It is important to recognize that drunk driving is a serious crime that threatens not only your own life but also the lives of others."
