Changnyeong-gun Reduces Traffic Accidents Caused by Inexperienced Elderly Drivers

10 Million KRW Changnyeong Sarang Gift Certificate Provided to License Surrenderers Aged 65 and Over

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Wook] Recently, traffic accidents caused by elderly drivers have been occurring frequently, and Changnyeong-gun is taking swift action with national funding support to minimize accidents.

On the 21st, Changnyeong-gun announced that it will implement a year-round incentive support program for elderly drivers who voluntarily surrender their driver's licenses to reduce traffic accidents and protect the lives and property of residents.

The support target is residents of Changnyeong-gun aged 65 or older who voluntarily surrender their licenses, and upon surrender, they will receive a Changnyeong Sarang gift certificate worth 100,000 won once.

To apply for support, applicants must visit their local eup/myeon office and surrender their driver's license. The license will be immediately canceled upon application, making driving impossible, so applicants need to be cautious.

A county official said, "To minimize traffic accidents caused by elderly drivers, we ask those eligible to actively participate in the program."
