The Pyeongtaek Police Station is increasing its efforts to combat drunk driving and traffic violations in school zones, with a special period of intensified patrols taking place until the end of May.
Sadly, there have been numerous cases of
drunk driving and child fatalities in school zones all across Korea, which is why
the police are taking a strong stance to prevent such accidents from happening
again. They want to remind everyone that drunk driving is a serious crime that
not only endangers the driver but also threatens the lives of innocent
bystanders.
To get this message across, the police will
be conducting round-the-clock patrols, including in areas where they anticipate
drunk drivers. These patrols will cover school zones, restaurant districts, and
other hotspots.
During the first weekend of the crackdown,
the Pyeongtaek Police Station caught four cases of drunk driving resulting in
license suspension, two cases of unlicensed driving, and 10 other major traffic
violations such as signal violations. Police Director Kim Jin-tae has
emphasized that the police will do everything in their power to carry out
enforcement and prevention activities to prevent drunk driving and school zone
traffic accidents.
As members of the Pyeongtaek community, it
is important that we all strictly adhere to traffic safety rules and regulations
to keep ourselves and our loved ones safe. So, whether you are driving or
walking, please be extra careful and mindful of others around you.
Let's work together to make our roads safer
for everyone!
