We start with a warning for drivers.
From Tuesday,... South Korea is taking tougher measures on those who drink and drive.
The police will launch a two-month nationwide crackdown,...from 10 PM to 4 AM, …when drunk driving accidents are most frequent.
Roadside breath tests will be randomly located near entertainment districts, restaurants and car-only slip roads.
And once the so-called " Yoon Chang-ho Law" comes into effect, there's a high possibility of round-the-clock breath tests, …which means drivers with hangovers will also be detected.
Legal blood alcohol levels have been lowered from zero-point-zero-five percent to zero-point-zero-three percent.
Drunk drivers can face up to a life sentence for causing death or severe injuries in an accident.
