Jeonnam Police, Special Amnesty on Driver's License Administrative Sanctions for Gwangbokjeol

A total of approximately 24,000 people (including those with penalty points, undergoing license suspension/cancellation procedures, and those restricted from taking the license exam)

Jeonnam police announced on the 15th that they will implement the '2023 Liberation Day Special Administrative Reduction for Driver's License Penalties.'

The purpose of this reduction is to alleviate the burden on ordinary citizens, such as livelihood drivers who are struggling due to administrative sanctions on their driver's licenses, and to provide an opportunity for early return to economic activities.

The eligible period for the reduction is from July 1, 2022, immediately after the reference date of the '2022 Special Administrative Reduction for Driver's License Penalties' (June 30, 2022) to June 30, 2023.

During this period, a total of 24,047 people who were subject to driver's license penalty points for traffic violations and accidents, those undergoing license suspension or cancellation procedures, and those in the license acquisition restriction period (disqualification period) are eligible for the reduction.

With this special reduction, all penalty points imposed on 20,092 people will be deleted.

Among those currently under driver's license suspension or in the process of suspension, 142 people will have their remaining suspension period exempted or the suspension procedure halted, allowing them to drive immediately from the 15th.

Additionally, the suspension procedure for 3 people undergoing driver's license cancellation will be halted, enabling immediate driving.

For 3,810 people in the period during which they cannot obtain a driver's license, the disqualification period will be lifted, granting them the benefit of immediately applying for the driver's license test.

However, even first-time offenders of drunk driving are excluded from this special reduction due to the risk and potential social condemnation.

Drivers who caused fatal traffic accidents and unlicensed drivers are also excluded from this reduction to raise awareness and for preventive purposes.

Furthermore, serious traffic law violators such as hit-and-run (with casualties), reckless or retaliatory driving, drugged driving, vehicle-related crimes, false or fraudulent license acquisition, vehicle theft or robbery, assault on police officers during enforcement, and those who have received pardons for suspension, cancellation, or disqualification within the past three years as of the enforcement date (June 30, 2023) are also excluded.

Those who are exempted from driver's license cancellation and those exempted from suspension due to joint risky behavior or causing traffic accidents must complete 6 hours of traffic safety education conducted by the Road Traffic Authority by September 15.

Individuals subject to withdrawal of driver's license suspension or cancellation will be notified individually by mail, but deletion of penalty points and disqualification lifting must be checked individually.

The special reduction for driver's license suspension and cancellation allows individuals to collect their driver's licenses at their local police station from the 14th, but actual driving is permitted only after 12:00 AM on the 15th.
