On a round-trip four-lane road, an SUV drives across lanes.
“I think it’s drinking.”
Even after a long chase, the dangerous stunt driving does not stop.
The driver behind him eventually found the police.
“Thank you for your hard work. I was suspicious of a drunk car, so I contacted you. I’ll call you the car number.”
The police asked the reporter if he would like to continue chasing the suspect vehicle, and the reporter replied without hesitation that he would.
“(Sir, are you going to keep chasing that car?) Yes, you have to.”
When the suspected drunk vehicle speeds up and runs away, he alerts the police to follow his car this time.
“I’m going to turn on the emergency flasher, so I think it’s okay to look at my car and follow me.”
A vehicle suspected of drinking while ignoring the signal.
“I got a signal. I noticed.”
The pursuit of the reporter continues, and the vehicle suspected of drinking stops when the reporter’s car blocks in front.
“You’re drunk. You’re staggering.”
The 33-year-old Hankyoreh pursued the drunk driving vehicle.
Last year, Mr. Han also helped arrest the driver by chasing a drunk vehicle for 20 km.
He stopped drunk driving after two chases in nine months.
