Which statement about international driver's licenses is NOT correct?
International driver's licenses issued in Korea and those issued abroad are governed by different articles (Articles 97 and 98 of the Road Traffic Act). For one issued in Korea, check its validity period and what happens to it when the domestic driver's license is suspended or revoked.
Answer: ③
Explanation
Under Article 98(3) of the Road Traffic Act, an international driver's license issued in Korea loses effect when the Korean license lapses or is revoked, so saying it can be used until expiry is wrong. It is valid for 1 year from issue (paragraph 2) and is suspended along with the Korean license (paragraph 4). A person driving on a foreign-issued international driver's license who causes an accident may be banned from driving for up to 1 year under Article 97(1).
