Bus Driver's Quick Thinking Stops Suspected Drunk Driver in Busan

A city bus driver in Busan spotted a passenger car suspected of drunk driving, blocked its path with his bus, and handed the driver over to the police.

According to the Busan Bus Transportation Association, Song Jae-ho, who was driving the No. 107 city bus around 11:20 p.m. on August 18 on a road near an apartment complex in Jeonggwan-eup, Gijang-gun, Busan, noticed a passenger car driving erratically while failing to stay in its lane.

Song maneuvered his bus in front of the passenger car to bring it to a stop.

He then got off the bus to check the driver's condition before reporting the incident to the police and handing the driver over to the responding officers.

At the time, the bus passengers reportedly waited until the suspected drunk driver and the vehicle were handed over to the police.

Last year, Song also spotted a vehicle suspected of drunk driving traveling in the wrong direction, reported it to the police, and handed the driver over.

Song stated, "I couldn't just ignore a dangerous vehicle that could threaten the safety of citizens."
