From June 25, 2019, the so-called’Second Yoon Chang-ho Act’ was enforced, increasing the likelihood of being punished for hangover driving in the morning while driving with less alcohol.
This is because the standard for suspension of license has been strengthened from 0.05% to 0.03% of the existing blood alcohol concentration.
Even if a typical male sleeps 6 hours in a drunk state, the blood alcohol concentration is 0.04%. If you drank until late, this is a number that could lead to a drunk driving crackdown if you hold the steering wheel on your way to work.
The number of license cancellations also decreased from 0.1% to 0.08% in blood alcohol concentration.
In addition, both fines and imprisonment for drunk driving were strengthened.
The suspension of the license has increased from the existing fine of 3 million won or less to 5 million won, and if the license is revoked, the fine starts from at least 5 million won.
For’drunkenness’ with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.2% or more, it has been reinforced from the existing ‘3 years imprisonment or a fine of 10 million won or less’ to ‘5 years or less or a fine of 20 million won or less’.
