Which statement about license disqualification periods is correct? (No exception such as a sentence lighter than a criminal fine applies.)
Unless one of the special reasons in the items of Article 82(2) applies, the basic disqualification period applies, and serious reasons such as stealing a car or failing to act after injuring someone carry longer periods (Article 82(2) of the Road Traffic Act). Also check in item 8 whether you can obtain another license while under a suspension.
Answer: ①
Explanation
When a license is revoked for a reason not covered by Article 82(2)1 to 6 of the Road Traffic Act, such as exceeding accumulated demerit points, the disqualification period is 1 year from revocation under subparagraph 7. Stealing someone's car and driving it without a license means 3 years (subparagraph 5), and injuring or killing someone for other reasons without taking measures or reporting means 4 years (subparagraph 4). During a suspension, the suspension period itself is a disqualification period, so no license can be obtained (subparagraph 8).
