Sejong City and Sejong Police Agency Joint Crackdown on 'Overdue Fine Collection'

[Asia Economy (Sejong) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Sejong City announced on the 10th that starting this month, it will begin collecting overdue vehicle fines through joint crackdowns with the Sejong Police Agency.

The joint crackdown is being implemented to overcome the limitations of the previous method where each agency managed the collection (encouragement) of overdue fines separately, and to create an opportunity to settle vehicle-related overdue fines based on the payer on-site.

Using enforcement equipment possessed by each agency, the license plates of moving vehicles are recognized and monitored by cameras installed on enforcement vehicles. Payers are encouraged to pay the fines on-site, and if payment is not made, the license plates are confiscated.

The joint crackdown will be conducted once a month, six times a year, in collaboration with the police starting this month. The targets for enforcement are cases where the vehicle-related fine payment deadline has passed by more than 60 days and the overdue amount is 300,000 KRW or more.

A city official stated, “By collaborating with the Police Agency, we will ensure that vehicle-related fines based on the payer are paid on-site,” and added, “The joint crackdown is also expected to have a promotional effect encouraging voluntary payment by defaulters.”
