Drunk driving is more dangerous than drowsy driving. Of course, you shouldn’t handle the steering wheel after drinking, but since I only drank a little, there is a widespread perception that short distances are okay. In fact, if you look at the pleas of people who are caught in the crackdown, they say, ‘I only drove a few meters. There are many people who complain that it is unfair, such as ‘I parked because the assistant manager parked far away.’
In particular, we must be careful because with the revision of the law, drunk driving will be punished unconditionally from 0.03% (about 1 glass of soju).
Even if you drink a small amount of alcohol, alcohol acts on the central nervous system and reduces reaction speed, reduces judgment ability, impulsive driving, reckless driving, drowsy driving, etc., so the risk of an accident is always present.
In particular, it is known that the risk of traffic accidents doubles at around 0.05%, 6-fold at 0.1% and 25-fold at 0.15%.
Drunk driving is a gamble that risks not only your life but also the life of the other person. Gambling only involves losing money, but drunk driving can get you to a point where you can get it back.
What’s even more terrible is that 44.8% of those caught for drunk driving are people who have been caught for drunk driving in the past. So, drinking and driving is like a drug and you can’t quit it easily, so you shouldn’t do it in the first place.
