I am curious about the level of punishment for driving without a license.

If you have been reported for driving without a license, you may feel anxious about what the level of punishment for driving without a license is.

Driving without a license includes not only driving while having no license but also driving while your license is suspended or revoked, and the level of punishment for driving without a license may be imprisonment for up to one year or a fine of up to 3 million won under Article 152, Subparagraph 1 of the Road Traffic Act.

In addition, the motorized bicycle you asked about (including scooters of 125cc or less) also cannot be driven without a license.

If you drive such a vehicle without a motorized-bicycle license, you may be subject to a fine of up to 300,000 won or minor imprisonment (detention) under Article 154, Subparagraph 2 of the Road Traffic Act.

If you cause an accident while unlicensed, or flee after an accident or violate your duty to take measures, an administrative disposition may also be imposed under which you cannot obtain a driver's license for up to five years thereafter.

If you are worried about punishment for driving without a license or restrictions on obtaining a license, because the specific circumstances of the violation and your history play an important role, the initial response is very important.

If possible, we recommend that you consult with an attorney who has relevant experience.
