Ulsan Office of Education and Road Traffic Authority Provide Motorcycle Traffic Safety Education for High School Students

The Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education is conducting motorcycle traffic safety education for high school students this year to prevent motorcycle traffic accidents and promote a culture of traffic safety.

This education is being carried out in collaboration with the Korea Road Traffic Authority, selecting a total of 17 high schools that applied for motorcycle traffic safety education. Starting with Bangeojin High School on the 7th, the education will be conducted sequentially until December.

The education consists of theoretical lessons including watching videos related to motorcycle safety, electric scooter accident cases, relevant traffic laws, and safety rules.

Since the statistics on personal mobility device (PM) accidents such as electric scooters began in 2021, Ulsan recorded 21 personal mobility device traffic accidents that year. Last year, there were 33 accidents, an increase of about 57% compared to 2021.

An official from the Korea Road Traffic Authority, which organized the education, said, “We hope that through education on various traffic accident cases, students will develop the ability to respond to traffic accident risks.”

An official from the Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education said, “We will analyze this year’s education outcomes and consider expanding the education target to include middle school students.”

Last year, the Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education produced promotional banners to prevent personal mobility device traffic accidents such as electric scooters and posted them near high schools in the Ulsan area.

The banners included traffic safety laws and safety rules such as prohibiting unlicensed driving of personal mobility devices, wearing helmets, and prohibiting passengers.

According to the Road Traffic Act, personal mobility devices (PM) require at least a “Class 2 motorized bicycle” license (obtainable from age 16) or higher to operate.
