Abstract

The goals of this study are as follows: for establishing the rational and acceptable strategy of controlling drunken-drivings, first, to estimate the social aggregate magnitude of optimal penalties for drunken driving in order to cutting down the
incidence of drunken-driving to the optimal level, for this, to estimate the total sum of social aggregate external costs caused by drunken-drivings, and
finally, on the ground of this, to evaluate the current drunken-driving penalty policy.
The aggregate monetary sum of personal external costs caused by drunken-drivings, namely, the won based damages of casualties, are estimated that the monetary cost value of 330 of deaths and 9,035 of the injureds these amonted to about 19.2
billion
won.
the aggregate external costs of the insurance administration related to the drunken-driving accidents amounted to 3.6 billion won and that of traffic administration as to about 0.9 billion. Hence, the total sum of socil external cost, that is,
the
social magnitude of optimal penalties for drunke-driving was estimated to 129.0 billion won.
82,787 of drunken-drivers were booked on charge and 7,551 were restricted, through the year of 1992. The total monetary amount of penalties fined by the drunken-drivers is estimated to about 16.3 billion, and thus the current penalites were
estimated to
the amount of 108.0 billion won.
Considering the actual condition of underestimating the cases of drunken-driving accidents from restriction of data and leaving out the gas cost and time cost made by the traffic congestions followed by drunken-driving acidents, the total sum of
social
external costs by drunken-drivings may be larger than that estimatd in this study. therefore it is concluded that we should augment the penalty levels for drunken-driving in veiw of optimal penalty. For this goal, there are needs to reinforce
supervision levels and punishment levels against drunken-drivings, at the same time, the another expected cost items of drunken-drivngs to be more expensive. for example, the perceived risk of drunken-drivings should be more accurately informed
and
the
social
atmosphere blaming drunken-drivings be fostered.
