Several people were injured in the accidents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">The orders stated that &#8220;given repeated vehicle collisions and other serious accidents amid a surge of unqualified drivers on our streets, this kind of lax discipline cannot be tolerated any longer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">According to the source, the license inspections will unfold in two stages. The first will cover all drivers at factories in the Kaesong Industrial Complex. The second will extend to drivers at organizations and enterprises throughout the city.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Inspectors will verify that drivers&#8217; vehicles match their license level and review their overall qualifications. Anyone caught driving without a license will face punishment including fines and community service.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">The municipal party committee has instructed organizations and enterprises to finish checking their drivers&#8217; licenses and qualifications and report findings by mid-June. The committee warned political leaders and administrators they may face punishment if their organizations submit late reports or are caught employing unlicensed drivers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">&#8220;In the past, it was common practice to overlook driving without a license. But after the latest orders, the entire industrial complex is in full panic mode,&#8221; the source said.<\/p>\n<h4><em>Police pocket more bribes from unlicensed drivers<\/em><\/h4>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">On orders from the municipal party committee, city police are checking drivers&#8217; licenses during inspections of trucks and other passing traffic. This has become the primary focus for officers at traffic checkpoints in Kaesong.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">&#8220;Inspections have been much stricter than usual in May, which has been designated the &#8216;month of accident prevention measures.&#8217; Rumor has it police are demanding double the usual bribe from anyone they catch. This basically gives police an excuse to pocket more money,&#8221; the source said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/20250523-4\/\">Read in Korean<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following a series of accidents involving unlicensed drivers in the Kaesong Industrial Complex, local party authorities have ordered inspections of drivers throughout the city. &#8220;On May 15, the municipal party committee ordered city police and all organizations and enterprises to check drivers&#8217;
