Picture of the Day: Daytime DUI Checkpoints Established In Korea
A policeman has a driver breathe into Breathalyzer in a street in downtown Seoul during the day on June 14, 2016. The random crackdown on drunk drivers was conducted across the nation on that day as the number of victims of drunken driving has increasingly risen as of late. (Yonhap)
After seeing so many people drinking alcohol while I’m out eating a Korean style breakfast, I think this is a great idea. 🙂 Maybe switching to an American style breakfast would result in less DUIs, lol.
Another meaningless enforcement period….the next day it will be back to normal.
Also, the breathalyzer used by the KNP is terrible. They just ask you to blow at a screen, rather than into a straw like other models which lowers the threshold of detection due to the surrounding air. I had an accident once where the other driver reeked of alcohol but was not detected by the device.
DUI checkpoints in the middle of the day? In Seoul? This doesn’t even rank as security theater, more like security high school play.
At any given night in Yangju I could’ve found more about to drive drunk bastages in a short walk around the neighborhood than these guys found all day. That was Yangju for Jebus’es sake…
