Simple summary of fines for traffic violations
If you drive often, you will naturally be interested in various fines imposed by traffic enforcement. I don’t drive often, but the fines I have to pay every once in a while are the most wasteful things in the world. I really wish I had been a little more careful.
So today, I suddenly found out about fines and fines for traffic violations. There are more people than you might think who do not know the difference between fines and fines. Of course, I found out this time too. Let’s briefly look at the differences in a table. 신호위반 과태료 벌금

Fines Lower Higher

Do you understand the table above? The most striking feature seems to be whether the crackdown was caught directly by a police officer or by a security camera. I’ve never been caught by a police officer myself, so I wasn’t aware of the concept of fines.
Fines are cheaper, but fines are worse in that there are fines. If possible, it would be better to treat it with a fine.
Signal violation fine
Since the driver is caught by an unmanned speed camera (fixed or mobile) and it is impossible to confirm who the driver is, financial sanctions are imposed on the owner of the vehicle. In this case, the financial sanctions are fines. In the case of fines, no penalty points are imposed, but they are slightly more expensive than fines.

Passenger car 70,000 won 130,000 won
Van 80,000 won 140,000 won
Two-wheeled vehicle 50,000 won 90,000 won
Signal violation penalty points and fines
A fine is a monetary penalty imposed on a driver of a vehicle if he or she is directly caught by a traffic police officer on the road and the identity of the driver can be identified. Penalties are fines imposed directly on the driver regardless of the vehicle owner, and demerit points are also imposed.
General road (15 penalty points) Protected area (30 penalty points)
Passenger car 60,000 won 120,000 won
Van 70,000 won 130,000 won
Two-wheeler 40,000 won 80,000 won
Bicycle (no penalty points) 30,000 won 60,000 won
<Protection area>
The protection areas described above refer to children’s protection areas and elderly/disabled people’s protection areas, and are recognized as protection areas only between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.
Today, we suddenly learned about fines and fines for traffic violations. It’s good to know this information in advance, but what’s even better is to follow traffic laws, right? In the next post, we will also look at speeding regulations. Well, that concludes this post.
