S. Korea to enforce stronger measures for drunk driving from Tuesday
- 5 years ago
If you've ever thought of driving after a drink or two, you really want to think twice before getting behind the wheels.
South Korea is enforcing tougher measures on those who drive under the influence starting Tuesday.
The police will launch a two-month nationwide crackdown,...from 10 PM to 4 AM, …when drunk driving accidents are the most frequent.
Roadside breath tests will be randomly located near entertainment districts, restaurants and car-only slip roads.
Once the so-called " Yoon Chang-ho Law" takes effect, it's highly likely that there will be round-the-clock breath tests, …which means you shouldn't even drive with a hangover.
Legal blood alcohol levels have been lowered from point-zero-five percent to point-zero-three percent.
Drunk drivers can face up to a life sentence for causing death or severe injuries in an accident.
