음주운전

그야말로 대낮인 지난 8일 오후 2시 20분쯤, 대전 서구 둔산동의 어린이 보호구역에서 만취 상태였던 운전자 66살 A 씨가 몰던 차량이 도로 경계석을 넘어 인도로 돌진해 길을 걷던 9살 배승아 양을 치여 숨지게 했습니다. 함께 있던 친구들도 큰 부상을 입었다고 합니다. 잊을 만하면 벌어지는 음주사고, 거기다 스쿨존이었다는 점이 또 다시 충격을 줬는데요. 며칠 뒤 경기도 하남시에서도 떡볶이 배달을 가던 가장이 음주운전을 하다 중앙선을 넘어 온 SUV 차량과 충돌해 숨졌습니다. 음주운전 사고는 여전히 반복되고 경찰은 또다시 음주운전과 스쿨존 법규 위반 특별단속에 나섰으며 경찰청장은 검찰과 협의해 음주운전 사고 가해자에 대해서는 최고 형량을 받게 할 것이라는 입장을 밝히기도 했습니다. 윤창호법 등 잦은 음주운전 사고 이후 있었던 법 개정에도 여전히 음주운전에 대한 형량이 너무 낮다는 지적이 많은데요. 술을 마시고 운전하면 그 자체로 (고의성이 있는) 살인이라고 봐야 하는 건 아닌지 의견도 나옵니다. 우리 법과 사회가 음주운전을 어떻게 다루고 있는지, 오늘 집중적으로 얘기 나눠 봅니다.

오늘 최종의견에서는 긴급피난이 법적으로 인정받기 위해 필요한 요건이 무엇인지 알려드립니다.

진행자: 임정요, Paul Kerry 1. Recycling centers face desperate battle to survive [1] The global coronavirus pandemic is threatening the future of plastic recycling in South Korea, as major recycling centers are incurring mounting losses amid a collapse in global demand. *incur: (비용을) 물게되다 *mounting: 쌓이는 *collapse: 붕괴 [2] Many are being forced to cut costs, work hours and head counts just to stay afloat, but a quick turnaround appears unlikely, industry insiders and government officials said. *afloat: 간신히 빚은 안 질 정도로 *turnaround: 만회, 호전 *unlikely: 있음직하지 않은 [3] “(Local) recycling centers are largely dependent on exports of collected recyclables, but trade is not happening these days,” said Ban Sung-tai, head of the resources recycling division at the Seoul Metropolitan Government. *dependent: 의존적인 *recyclable: 재활용할 수 있는 [4] “These centers are having a hard time, but there’s not much that can be done at this point. It’s not like borders will reopen tomorrow as if nothing happened.” *as if nothing happened: 아무일도 없던 것 처럼 기사원문: http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20200525000650 2. Police adapt to COVID-19 era, introduce non-contact DUI testing [1] Life is getting back to some semblance of normality in South Korea, with people out and about on the streets and in parks, students returning to school in stages, and public transportation crammed during rush hours. *semblance: 겉모습 *normality: 정상상태 *in stages: 단계적으로 [2] Also getting back into gear is the police’s war against drunk driving. Police, who in the past months could only sparingly test drivers’ breath for alcohol due to virus fears, are now employing a new tool -- non-contact DUI testing equipment that does not require drivers to directly blow into breathalyzers, a practice at high risk for spreading the novel coronavirus. *get back into gear: 정상화하다 *drunk driving: 음주운전 *sparingly: 드물게 *practice: 행위, 관행 [3] At first glance, the new device resembles a selfie stick. A sensor that detects airborne alcohol content is attached at the end of a 60-centimeter-long stick, which is placed some 30 centimeters in front of drivers’ face for about five seconds through the window. *resemble: 닮다 *selfie stick: 셀카봉 *airborne: 공기중의 기사원문: http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20200526000294

Repeat offenders caught during the period will be detained and their vehicles will be seized, police added. *extend: 연장하다 *mobilize: 동원하다 *undercover patrol cars: 일반 차로 위장한 경찰차 *tend to: -하는 경향이 있다 *surge: 오르다 *repeat offenders: 재범자 *seize: 압수하다 기사원문: http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20191117000164

[팟캐스트] (306) 문무일 총장 검찰 과거사 대국민 사과 / '제 2윤창호법' 음주단속 첫 날 1.
