A person was caught driving a car without a license for the first time. There was no accident. How long after the violation date must pass before this person can obtain a driver's license other than a motorcycle driver's license? (No exception such as a sentence lighter than a criminal fine applies.)
💡 Hint
The disqualification period for driving without a license is counted from the date of the violation, and it differs depending on whether you want a motorcycle driver's license and on how many times you violated the rule (Article 82(2)1 and 2 of the Road Traffic Act). Do not miss the conditions "first time" and "other than a motorcycle driver's license" in the question.
Answer: ②
Explanation
Under Article 82(2)1 of the Road Traffic Act, a person who drove without a license (violating Article 43) may obtain a license only after 1 year from the violation date. Six months applies only to a motorcycle driver's license. Driving without a license three or more times makes it 2 years (subparagraph 2).
