Pre-candidate Lee Hyung-seok: "We Will Establish a Driver's License Test Center in Gwangju"
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Lee Hyung-seok, a preliminary candidate for the National Assembly election in Buk-gu (Eul), Gwangju Metropolitan City, representing the Democratic Party of Korea, promised on the 15th, "We will establish the Gwangju Driver's License Test Center in Buk-gu to secure accessibility and resolve the inconvenience that Gwangju citizens have had to travel to the Naju Driver's License Test Center."
The candidate stated, "Currently, among all metropolitan cities nationwide, Gwangju is the only one without a driver's license test center," and added, "Gwangju citizens suffer great inconvenience as they have to travel to the Naju Driver's License Test Center in Jeollanam-do to take various tests and inspections."
He continued, "Since a written test center was opened in Yongbong-dong, Buk-gu in 2013, the written test can be taken in Gwangju, but for the skills test and road driving test, driving academies charge relatively higher fees than the driver's license test center, which places an economic burden on examinees."
