Sejong City Urges Regular Vehicle Inspections...Fines and Driving Suspension for Non-Compliance
[Asia Economy (Sejong) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Sejong City urges vehicle owners to undergo regular vehicle inspections within the validity period. The purpose is to prevent damages caused by simple mistakes, as amendments to related laws may impose fines or driving suspensions if regular inspections are not completed within the validity period.
According to the city on the 14th, starting from July 14, with the amendment and enforcement of the Automobile Management Act, a fine of up to 600,000 KRW will be imposed if regular (comprehensive) vehicle inspections are not conducted.
First, due to the legal amendment, fines imposed on owners of vehicles whose validity period has expired will increase from 20,000 KRW to 40,000 KRW within 30 days, and fines imposed every 3 days after 31 days will increase from 10,000 KRW to 20,000 KRW.
Additionally, fines imposed when more than 115 days have passed without undergoing a regular inspection will double from a maximum of 300,000 KRW to 600,000 KRW.
In particular, the city emphasizes that if a vehicle owner fails to comply with the inspection order and more than one year passes, a vehicle driving suspension (a strengthened measure compared to the previous license plate confiscation) may be imposed, requiring citizens’ attention.
The Vehicle Registration Office plans to post related information on the city’s website and major bulletin boards such as electronic display boards within the jurisdiction to prevent cases where citizens suffer disadvantages due to unawareness of the amended regulations.
