Things to Watch Out For When Driving... '10 Penalty Points' for Non-Compliance

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

Let's continue with more useful news.

Today's first useful news. Ten penalty points for failing to use turn signals. As drivers, you must always wear your seatbelt.

You need to turn on your left turn signal when going left, and your right turn signal when going right.

Are you wondering why I am stating the obvious?

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

Until now, violating this rule did not result in penalty points.

Only a fine of 30,000 won was imposed.

However, the Korean National Police Agency is now pushing forward with 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 National Police Agency plans to conduct a public awareness campaign for two months starting next month.

From October, it plans to launch a three-month intensive crackdown.

In fact, the fatality rate in accidents when not wearing a seatbelt is said to be more than twice as high as when wearing one.

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