Hello, I have a question about industrial accident application. I'm currently studying abroad in the US. I recently heard that a worker was seriously injured at a construction site my father runs. I told my mother to quickly consult an attorney since the victim might file an industrial accident application. I'm worried whether my mother can handle it well. I can't go to Korea right away, which is frustrating. Should I just tell my mother to hire an attorney to respond?

Unlicensed driving does not simply mean people who have not obtained a driver's license, but also includes people whose driver's licenses have been suspended or revoked.

Therefore, driving a vehicle while your driver's license is suspended also constitutes unlicensed driving, and violation of this can result in imprisonment of up to 1 year or a fine of up to 3 million won.

The scope of unlicensed driving is very diverse, and representative types are as follows.

Driving without obtaining a driver's license
Driving a vehicle that does not match the type of driver's license
Driving while having received license revocation or suspension disposition
Driving after passing the license test but before the license is issued
Driving practice without a practice license
Driving with an expired international driver's license
Driving in a country that does not recognize international driver's licenses, etc.

If you are facing punishment for unlicensed driving, it is important during investigation or statements not to say things contrary to the facts and to accurately convey your actions and circumstances.

Also, it helps to clearly state the circumstances of the case and your intent to reflect, and not to unnecessarily display emotions or make excuses.

Lastly, it is good to check related laws and punishment levels in advance to realistically grasp the possibility of punishment and establish a response plan.
