[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Yangsan City, Gyeongnam Province, will conduct a comprehensive cleanup of abandoned vehicles for one month starting from the 14th.

If an unused registered motorcycle is found operating, a fine of 500,000 KRW will be imposed.

Reports of abandoned vehicles can be made to the Yangsan Vehicle Registration Office.

Park Ho-jin, head of the Vehicle Registration Office, stated, “During this comprehensive cleanup period, we will do our best to promote to citizens that abandoning vehicles and illegal operation are unlawful acts, thereby resolving residents' inconveniences and establishing a traffic culture that ensures drivers' safety.”
