Drivers Beware: Failing to Follow This Rule Means 10 Penalty Points

Here is a quick and clear roundup of the news you should know this morning.

We continue with informative news.

Today's first informative news: 10 penalty points for turning signals. Drivers, you must wear your seatbelt.

You must turn on your left blinker when going left, and your right blinker when going right.

You might wonder why we are stating the obvious.

Well, failing to follow that obvious rule could land you 10 penalty points going forward.

Until now, violating this rule did not incur penalty points.

Only a fine of 30,000 won was imposed.

However, the Korean National Police Agency is now pushing for a plan to impose 10 penalty points each for failing to wear seatbelts, failing to wear motorcycle helmets, and failing to use turn signals.

The police plan to conduct a public awareness campaign for two months starting next month.

From October, they plan to launch a three-month intensive crackdown.

In fact, the fatality rate in accidents when seatbelts are not worn has been shown to be more than twice as high as when they are worn.

Therefore, you should follow these regulations well, not just to avoid penalty points, but for your own safety.
