Jeju Police Agency Implements Special Administrative License Sanctions Reduction for 2021

Jeju Provincial Police Agency

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters (Jeju) Reporter Hwang Jeongpil] Jeju Police Agency announced on the 30th that it will implement the ‘2021 Special Administrative Penalty Reduction for Driver’s Licenses’ as of midnight on the 31st.

The purpose of this reduction is to alleviate the burden on ordinary citizens, such as livelihood drivers who are struggling due to administrative sanctions on their driver’s licenses, and to provide an opportunity for early return to economic activities.

The reduction target period is from October 1, last year, immediately after the ‘2020 Special Administrative Penalty Reduction for Driver’s Licenses’ reference date (October 1, 2017 ~ September 30, 2019) until October 31 of this year.

During this period, a total of 8,496 individuals in Jeju who were subject to driver’s license penalty points due to traffic law violations and traffic accidents, those undergoing license suspension or cancellation procedures, and those in the license acquisition restriction period (disqualification period) are eligible for the reduction.

With this special reduction, all penalty points imposed on 7,743 people in the province will be deleted.

Among those currently under driver’s license suspension or undergoing suspension procedures, 151 people will have their remaining suspension period exempted or the suspension procedure halted, allowing them to drive immediately from the 31st.

Additionally, one person undergoing driver’s license cancellation procedures will have the execution suspended and will be able to drive immediately, and 601 people in the period during which they cannot acquire a driver’s license will be granted the benefit of having their disqualification period lifted, allowing them to immediately take the driver’s license test.

However, even first-time offenders of drunk driving are excluded from the special reduction due to the risk and potential social condemnation, and drivers who caused fatal traffic accidents and unlicensed drivers are also excluded to raise awareness and for prevention purposes.

Furthermore, those who committed serious traffic violations such as hit-and-run (with casualties), reckless or retaliatory driving, drug driving, vehicle-related crimes, obtaining false or fraudulent licenses, car theft, assault on police officers during enforcement, and those who had received pardons for suspension, cancellation, or disqualification periods within the past three years as of the enforcement date (December 31, 2020) are also excluded from the target.

Those exempted from driver’s license cancellation and those exempted from suspension due to joint dangerous acts and causing traffic accidents must complete six hours of traffic safety education conducted by the Road Traffic Authority by February 1 next year.

Individuals subject to withdrawal of driver’s license suspension or cancellation will be notified individually by mail, but penalty point deletions and disqualification removals must be checked individually.

Special reduction confirmation is available after identity verification on the Police Agency website and Police Agency Traffic Civil Service 24.

Driver’s license suspension and cancellation special reductions have been available for license pickup at the local police station since the 29th, but actual driving is permitted only after midnight on the 31st.
