I'm curious about the punishment level for unlicensed driving.

If you have been reported for unlicensed driving, you may be anxious about the level of punishment for unlicensed driving.

Unlicensed driving includes not only driving without a license but also driving while the license is suspended or revoked, and the punishment level for unlicensed driving can be imprisonment of up to 1 year or a fine of up to 3 million won under Article 152 (1) of the Road Traffic Act.

And regarding the motorized bicycle (including scooters of 125cc or less) that you asked about, you also cannot drive without a license.

If you drive such a vehicle without a motorized bicycle license, you can be punished with a fine of up to 300,000 won or detention under Article 154 (2) of the Road Traffic Act.

If you cause an accident in an unlicensed state or flee after the accident or violate the duty to take measures, an administrative disposition may be imposed that prevents you from obtaining a driver's license for up to 5 years thereafter.

If you are concerned about unlicensed driving punishment or restrictions on obtaining a license, since specific violation circumstances or history play an important role, initial response is very important.

If possible, we recommend consulting with an attorney with relevant experience.
